Well yeah he was. He was put outside in the outdoor pit by family members. I always left him indoors out of fear that something would happen to him. I had been away at my partners place and came home to find him outdoors and it had rained for 2 days during the time he was outside. I brought him in straight away and put him straight on to heat. By then the damage was done. I got him the first avilable appointment 4 days later and he has been on the antibiotics since. I thought i was doing really well and thought i might have been ****y enough to escape without damage. I'm pretty cut about it especially when i look at Arnie and he is completely oblivious to how he looks, he just walks around and carries on and sits there while i put his creme on. The vet reckons he will be feeling better but i've never had an animal get sick like this before. I really put this photo on here to show peple what will happen to shinglebacks that had been kept outdoors in conditions like Sydney. i figure if openly admitting my stuff up and showing people the results can stop another animal from going through this then at least some good as come out of something so horrible. Brought tears to my eyes when Arnie walked up my shoulder this evening and rested his head on my neck as he usually does.
Simone.
