A team of veterinarians in Himachal's Una district successfully treated a buffalo by performing a complex surgery to remove 18 pieces of metal wire from its stomach.

The buffalo, owned by Ram Agnihotri of Gondpur Jaichand, had not been eating fodder for about 10 days. He then brought the animal to a polyclinic for treatment, where, following an initial examination, the doctors conducted an ultrasound, vets said on Monday.
