AP PHOTOS: Horses make wild patients at Israeli hospital

In this Monday, Dec. 7, 2015 photo, a veterinary technician feeds a horse at the Hebrew University's Koret School of Veterinary Medicine in Rishon Lezion, Israel. Veterinarians at the hospital operate on about two dozen horses a month and rely on elaborate tools and an army of volunteers to safely treat animals that can weigh more than 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms).
At Israel's main equine hospital, the animals can be wild patients, creating some unique challenges for the veterinarians treating them.
"They are not good patients," said Dr. Gal Kelmer, who heads the large animal department at Hebrew University's Koret School of Veterinary Medicine. "I get a lot of satisfaction when things work."
