| | | my ferret attacked my bluey
my ferret managed to escape from it's pen and climbed up some milkcrates and jumped into my bluetongue tank. the bluey was brumating at the time and i came home to find an agitated bluey missing scales on the back of it's neck and the ferret in the tank pretending to be innocent.   
the bluey seems to have all it's limbs and from what i can see there's no deep cuts or punctures. what i worried about now is the risk of infection. is there anythingi can do to prevent infection?

Hope he recovers well.

you need to dress the wound with a good anitiseptic
and place the bluie into a heated environment to help the healing process and
help prevent shock asap!

You're lucky it is still alive, I had a ferret escape years ago (when I was in NSW) and it created havoc in the chook pen.
Good luck with the Bluey
