Burned pony saved by fish

A PONY burned by acid has had an op to heal her face – using fish skin.

Cinders, eight months, was found dumped in Chesterfield, Derbys, and taken to Rainbow Equine Hospital, North Yorks.

US vet Jamie Peyton flew in to do a skin graft after wellwishers raised £14,000.

His team used dressings made of fish skin to aid the growth of fresh tissue.

Vet David Rendle, from the hospital, said: “Extraordinary injuries called for extraordinary treatments.”
