Today, our crew provided mutual aid to the Cloverdale Fire Protection District and Northern Sonoma County Fire District for a public assist involving a horse in distress.
We were able to carefully reposition the horse, which had been down for quite some time and was suffering from advanced arthritis. After lifting the animal to see if it could stand, our on-scene vet conducted a thorough examination. Sadly, it revealed a life-threatening injury, leading to the difficult decision to euthanize.
While we are heartbroken by the outcome, we are grateful for the chance to help and give this horse every opportunity possible. 💔🐴Sonoma Valley Fire District
