Cobra undergoes surgery
The five minutes long video shows the cobra being kept on a bed while the vet can be seen using a tweezer-like object to fix the wound. In the middle of the video, we see a large strand like structure come out of the cobra’s body. After this, the vet injects the cobra and then it starts moving a little. While the vet is performing the task, another person can be seen holding the cobra from front. Towards the end of the video, the vet puts the cobra into a bucket, which is half full of water and he then covers it with a white cloth.
