Baby Goose Gets a Chance at Life Thanks to Metal Leg Brace

Filed under: in the news...

We rarely report on veterinary stories on these pages, but enough cuteness combined with interesting medicine and compassion can lead to a fun post. Above is a photo of a baby goose that had a custom brace installed at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire, UK after it was found with a broken leg. According to the Telegraph, this is the first "bionic" goose in the world. Of course calling a leg with a brace bionic might be overemphasizing the achievement, regardless of how adorable the whole story is.
