The X-ray's to see
the bony attachment to this. We're looking at what's actually
attached there. As Julie preps the calf,
Martin gets a closer look. In the X-ray it looks like there's
a false joint. It appears that the fifth
leg is attached by tissue, but Martin won't know for sure
until he operates. If I can get it off at the top, it shouldn't grow again, but we'll know when we get in here
what we have. Two of Martin's youngest vets, Aoifa and Olivia,
stay to assist and observe. This is an interesting one
because it's quite a rare surgery, so it's nice for everybody
to see it. Do you want the tourniquet
tight now? Yeah, yes, please. A tourniquet reduces blood flow
to the joint and will help Martin see where to cut more clearly. Look at the length of those
eyelashes. They're so pretty. Hey, folks, we're off, OK
