>>Hi, and I do wish you the best of luck, if you indeed "rescue" this individual, then indeed its a rescue.

>>

>> First, I have no idea what the outcome will be with your monitor. But most folks do not understand the abilities of healthy monitors. Use those abilities.

>>

>> Both you and Cindy prejudice your statements. That is, it "needs" this or will perish without that. Those statements are not accurate, but of course not necessarily false either. Any and all monitors can perish.

Actually, I wouldnt endorse surgery here. In fact I would personally take a scalple and open that section allowing the infection to drain itself. But I have the ability to do that. However, sepsis is very common when wounds are left this long. It is amazing how quickly recovery sets in once you break that infection loose. That and getting the animal to proper temps will go very far. The biggest mistake I see people make is offering a temp of 90 and thinking that is enough.
