I can handle med fixes on my goats easily....I did have to take off a broken bleeding horn on a distressed goat.....wow the blood, but I cut it off, blood stop medicine and fixed her up. Yup, elbow deep getting some babies out of mommas.
I fixed open sores and stitched one goat up a little to help that wound.
No other "vet procedures" really. Most things were cured with shots from the vet...like the cats getting into battles and getting lame with infection and such. But again, those are shots.
Never fixed a dislocated leg on any critter. Had a couple baby goats break their legs in the hay feeder by getting hung upside down, but we just let it heal as is. They go to the sale with a dangling leg, the meat guys don't care about that.......they heal fast on their own and do fine on 3 legs til they hit the sale.....so....????
sorry, can't truly tell ya how to do a real vet procedure like you are needing. Can you maybe go to the ASPCA and ask them to do it for free...sometimes they will work on a distressed animal to help ya.
