To UOL, the veterinarian gave more details about Caramelo’s care. “The animal arrived sedated, was warmed, dried, had its parameters measured, and was treated with intravenous hydration. It returned from sedation and was allocated to the stalls. It is eating and receiving hay [mistura de plantas ceifadas e secas].”
Veterinarian Bruno Schmitz, who rescued the horse, said he was around seven years old. “Based on his teeth, he must be on average seven years old. He’s very thin, it wasn’t that time on the roof… Well taken care of, he wasn’t anymore,” he said in an interview with GloboNews.
Around 10,000 animals have been rescued in the state so far. Balance sheet is from the Rio Grande do Sul government.
Caramelo was seen balancing on the roof of a house. The scene was caught by a TV Globo helicopter, which was covering the floods in the city of Canoas, one of the most punished, and went viral on social media.
Mutirão and commotion on social media. From then on, a race against time began: the first lady, Janja da Silva, and influencers such as Felipe Neto, called for the animal to be removed safely.
