Beagle believed hit by train makes miraculous recovery after being treated by Horsham vets
Two-year-old Ronnie was treated at Anderson Abercromby Veterinary Referrals for a broken leg he suffered while missing from home for 10 days.
Ronnie fled from his garden after being scared by fireworks and his owners feared the worst when they were told a dog matching his description had been hit by a train.

Hide AdRonnie survived the incident and, despite not being able to put weight on his broken leg, eventually made his way back home and was reunited with his owners.
Due to the nature of his injuries, he was referred to Anderson Abercromby, a veterinary practice in Warnham, near Horsham, which specialises in orthopaedic surgery.
Anderson Abercromby surgeon Federico Piccinno said because Ronnie’s injury was already several days old, the natural healing process had kicked in, making repairing the bone more challenging.
Federico said: “Ronnie was extremely thin when he was admitted to the practice, and he wasn’t able to use his left hind leg or put weight on it. He also had several wounds on his body which looked like friction burns.
