Posted by: pitdorks at Sun Feb 8 20:06:36 2009 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by pitdorks ] I was hoping for advice on a Meller's that only has one eye. It came into rescue 3 weeks ago from a pet store raid due to serious neglect/abuse of numerous animals. Appears to be a sub-adult wild caught. I took him/her (we refer to it as a him) into the vet the day after pickup - full physical revealed a ruptured right eye that was infected and had proven now to be obliterated along with rostral abrasions that are through the skin exposing the SQ layers, serious dehydration and obvious malnutrition. In the last three weeks, we've been doing SQ fluids, Fortaz, treating the rostral abrasions topically, and trying to get weight on him. The problem we are running across is that that his aim when trying to eat or drink is horrible. He misses the target by several inches each time. He also cannot figure out how to drink from the drip system, tries to lick water off the leaves and misses them completely. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
