Head veterinarian praise mushers

There are few injuries among the dogs this year, according to the head veterinarian Charlotte Leshbrandt. - Even though they are riding quite fast this year, we generally see very few injuries. It's mostly sore muscles, but that is not a medical problem, she says. The mushers are very good at taking care of their dogs, and they do, in deliberation with us, leave behind the dogs that need more rest. So they deserve praise, says Leschbrandt.
