Dr. E. W. Thc.-r.aand his assistant. Dr. Robert M. Hensley, did the
surgery at the Carr Barn on the Parkers Mill Road.
Two ,fc: tt.'f of the anesthetic agent were inserted by needle into
the Jugular veins in the neck of the horse. In less than a minute the
horse bci.vn tc weaken, and the animal was completely desensitized in
a minute ?nd a half.
While the surgeon made his incision, two tanks of oxygen were adjusted for emergency use. A tube from the top of the tanks ended into
a long
plastic hose, and the two ends were inserted in the
horse's nostrils.
