Second Chance's Cassie

Biography

Cassie was one of 19 horses and ponies surrendered to Second Chance from the RSPCA of Western Australia, all the animals coming from the same original owner. Second Chance and the RSPCA worked together for some weeks leading up to the rescue and Second Chance had also assisted the Animal Welfare Unit over 12 months before on some of these equines, collecting evidence and offering our equine knowledge to assist with the investigation. Eventually the owner opted to surrender a large number of equines as a part of an operation to reduce herd numbers to a manageable level. The equines were collected by Second Chance volunteers and fostered immediately into specialist care.

Cassie arrived very underweight, a body score of 1. She also had neglected hooves and a terrible worm burden. Just days before her rescue Cassie had a grass seed lodged in one eye causing her a great deal of pain. When the RSPCA first saw Cassie, they were informed that the people responsible for Cassie's care intended to treat the eye with kerosene. On closer examination by a Veterinarian the grass seed was dicovered and removed, Cassie's eye thankfully undamaged and has since healed very well.
