This silly kite found a decaying rabbit leg and swallowed the whole lot, bone and all. It couldn't eat anything and would have died slowly." .."A nurse held the kite, I held the neck extended, at first could not see the end of the bone but finally using a laryngoscope and extra long forceps, vet Viki Ayres managed to see the tip, grip it and withdraw it"..."I'm happy to say that the Kite has recovered well and we've just released it back into the wild" JOB REF: 14575 SFE DATE: 16.03.12 **MUST CREDIT SOLARPIX.COM OR DOUBLE FEE WILL BE CHARGED** **MUST AGREE FEE BEFORE ONLINE USAGE** **CALL US ON: +34 952 811 768 or LOW RATE FROM UK 0844 617 7637**
