We have a retic just brought into the shop yesterday
1] Approximately 2m
Very underweight and dehydrated
Covered in ticks and mites
Betadine bath and savlon on some infected bites
2] Has a major injury where a section of skin/meat is missing from about 5mm from nose back to 3mm in front of eyes
Approximately 20mm x 10mm missing
Facial bones are clearly visible but appear to be intact
Skin section is missing so I cannot stitch it back on
Still definitely has power and ability to strike and bite
Bite is comparable to a similar sized snake so I dont think there is too much muscle damage
Is drinking
I have very little first aid equipment/medications
Have applied savlon, honey, betadine paste
Have never used this on an injury that is this bad before but it works very well on cuts etc
Has anyone had to home remedy an injury like this???
Any advice gratefully accepted
