MOTH
Moth was brought to us the second week of December 2000. I actually cried when I saw her, every nail on her front feet has been severed at the first nuckle. Her face is a mass of infection with a massive black wound on the top of her nose. Apparently she had been kept in a chicken wire cage and she had tried to bite her way out. Localized infections have bumped up on several areas of her body, she is very skittish, trying to bite and run away in fear.
The baytril injections have started to work, in unison with the Betadine baths they are clearing up the infection and the wounds are starting to scab up and heal. In some places we can see pinkish white scales revealing themselves as the black scabs peel back. The poor thing is very aggressive, she hates the injections and tries to bite when we handle her. I hope over time she will start to trust us and calm down...
