Taco was found in the middle of the road by a member of the public who phoned the local vets for help. A nurse quickly came out to collect Taco and he was taken back to the veterinary practice. The vet acted immediately to keep Taco alive he was in a very bad way but they did a fantastic job keeping him stable, warm and comfortable.

He was later transferred to an animal hospital who could provide the 24 hour care he would need.

Taco's jaw is broken and he has some damage around his left eye. His internal organs look ok but there is swelling on his brain and there are concerns about his cognitive function.

He will be kept comfortable overnight with various drugs and oxygen and will be assessed again in the morning.
