This poor old boar was bored with pain when
his tusk bored into his eye.
Patcharapol Panrak
A particularly long-in-the-tooth boar needed emergency surgery
after he poked himself in the eye with his own tusk.
Piemsak Ngamta, 32, called animal-rescue officers to his house in Naklua
to aid 10-year-old Sornran, whose two tusks had grown and curled upward,
cutting the animal in one eye.
The boar was taken to a veterinarian, who anesthetized it and cut the
fang to a manageable length before treating the wound. The boar was
given antibiotics and is expected to recover fully.
