Iceman's Brain Surgery!

Iceman was gelded on Wednesday. He did excellent, nice and calm!



Dr. Schur checked his vitals...


Then she sedated him. He stood quietly as she worked on him.

Commencing brain surgery!

Yikes!

It was so windy that the guys had to hold up wood as a wind break...
Then, it was time for his freeze brand! The BLM was on hand to do it. They kept the brand on long enough to make Iceman's hair fall out and stay out. It will not grow back in white, so we should be able to see it. His full Freezemark reads 03609709, his special, unique ID # is the 9709 part.

His wolf teeth were removed...

Then, as soon as he was awake, he hopped right up! No laying around like a domestic horse for him!


When he was down, we got a fly mask on him to protect his blue eyes from the bright sun.


Poor Iceman! But, now his new life can truly begin.

  2. You are doing such a good job with him! I didn't realize so much had gone on until I read back. Good job Eric!
    This brain surgery will make things so much easier too. I bet he's going to be a real treasure to work with too, he looks very sweet and easy going.
    Good job everyone!
