Woke up, turned on the snake light and my rescue female(who is 15 years old) has about 6 inches of skin ripped off her body. Call the vet, had to take her in for emergency visit. Got some silver cream for the raw skin. She was severly abused before I got her. The guy starved her for 6 months and then was going to freeze her if someone didn't take her so the petstore I go to took her and gave her to me. She had so many layers of eyecaps, the vet got those off today too and she's on eye drops and injectible baytril to fight off a respiratory infection and mouth rot. She's in bad shape Her skin got caught on a tiny sliver of my huge piece of driftwood. It peeled away because she had lost so much weight the skin is just kinda loose and hanging there. Doctor said she should be ok though. I really hope so I feel terrible for the poor girl. Anyone who treats an animal like that should be shot in my opinion. Thought I would just let it out about today, it was very upsetting. Thanks for listening.
