RESCUE DRAFT MULE ~ A LIFE OF THE PLOW to a HAPPY RETIREMENT! (CHIRO ADJUSTMENT)

[@josettekoller]

3:53 Adjust left side wing of the atlas...click. 5:12 Now is a little licking and chewing which is delayed lick and chew... which Doc just made that up. Why? Because he felt like it. 5:35 Holding a spot at C 5 trying to get the vertebrae to release. He is watching Sugar Snap as she is leaning into him.... 6:32 GOT IT....adjusted C 5. Doc rechecks her and the knot is gone... 7:46 holding spot on Sugar Snaps Back and then at 8:16 adjusts that spot 8:28 licking and chewing ...that was a good release of a very tight spot. 9:30 found another spot the rib spot. Doc tried to adjust it using his bale and Sugar Snap gave him a run for his money by moving away... 11:18 found the rib again and he is holding it nice and strong with his fingers. 11:44 Got it. 11:56 adjusted a higher rib too.. I heard that one.. sort of a dull crack. 12:28 Got the ilium. 12:31 Sugar Snap phhhhhhhhhh does a release. She shakes her head and then the licking. 14:24 Kisses for Sugar Snap. Wishing her a very healthy safe life. Wishing everyone else that too.

Sugarsnap is so gentle and pretty. I can't imagine how she got a wound down to the bone without her previous owner noticing. So sad.

[@lindaromanowiz1104]

Sweet Sugarsnap, I'm so thankful your leg has healed. It certainly looked like you enjoyed that adjustment. I wish you a long, happy life at this beautiful rescue sanctuary. Another awesome job Dr. Doug!!! 🙂

[@monkwhitley]

What a handsome beast , you do a sterling job Dr Doug . I'm fascinated by the expressions on these animals faces when you are working on them . Many have had hard lives and it's comforting to know that you are helping those who dedicate their lives in providing a safe haven for them . It als amazes me that following their previous mistreatment that they allow humans to be given a second chance. 🙏

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Wow that‘s awesome thank you for the thoughtful and encouraging comment, it feels good. Grateful for the support Monkwhitley.

I absolutely love the way you talk to the animals about what you're doing. It's exactly the way I talk to my kitties when I'm working with them. 💖 I used to talk to the dogs that way long ago when I was a groomer, too. It makes all the difference to them.

SugarSnap is a sweetheart of a mule. So glad they were able to save her because of the injury. I have seen a nasty injury in that area only once. A horse freaked out when unloading from a trailer and cut the back of her leg and ankle pretty severely. Thank you for what you do for the animals

Bless Sugar Snap's ❤️. What an angel. My opinion; she was most likely treated as a commodity. Awful not to notice a lower extremity wound on a horse which is so vital for their existence and functionality. Sad. So glad she was rescued.

Hi doc! That must have been one hell of an injury what Christine said…Puhh! They can be happy that sugarsnaps didn‘t get a phlegmon she could have died with a sepsis thanks Christine and her team she made it! Cassandro once due to an infected insect sting on his belly right in front of the sheath got a phlegmon …his sheath was so big like a football and the lymphatic pathway on his hindquarters were so big and swollen he couldn’t move anymore he almost died the vet wasn’t sure wether the antibiotics gonna work he thought it was too late! But he made it! Anyway… nice adjustments I would have a suggestion for your Box if you want to hear?! I loved this video and I love your approach you do a great job doc! Thank you
