After about a quarter of an hour Squealer appeared, full of sympathy and concern.
He said that Comrade Napoleon had learned with the very deepest distress of this misfortune to one of the most loyal workers on the farm,
and was already making arrangements to send Boxer to be treated in the hospital at Willingdon.
The animals felt a little uneasy at this. Except for Mollie and Snowball, no other animal had ever left the farm,
and they did not like to think of their sick comrade in the hands of human beings.
However, Squealer easily convinced them that the veterinary surgeon in Willingdon
could treat Boxer’s case more satisfactorily than could be done on the farm.
And about half an hour later, when Boxer had somewhat recovered, he was with difficulty got on to his feet,
and managed to limp back to his stall, where Clover and Benjamin had prepared a good bed of straw for him.
For the next two days Boxer remained in his stall. The pigs had sent out a large bottle of pink medicine
which they had found in the medicine chest in the bathroom, and Clover administered it to Boxer twice a day after meals.
In the evenings she lay in his stall and talked to him, while Benjamin kept the flies off him.
