Lily Update

[riddick07]

So she got a lot worse until she started to look better. We all said she was starting to look like a rescue animal instead of one of my animals. Busted up scales, tore up her belly scales fighting to get away while we did her mouth, swollen mouth, and damaged head. Finally tonight she shed away those scales and is looking much better. Her mouth almost closes again! Only a few damaged scales that will take at least one more shed to go away but otherwise she almost looks like herself again.









Taken after we did her mouth and shot tonight so the bubbles are from the mouth washing. Took her to the shelter vet since I was very unhappy with the local one. Sarah did great with her like she always does with all the animals we bring her. Lily had to see her a second time to do a debridement since some of the pus had latched on good to her tooth and parts of her mouth in the one spot. Took two seconds. She initially thought we would have to put her under but apparently pictures were worse than the reality. I literally dropped her off and left then got the call a minute later to turn around since they could do it while she was awake. She is on a different antibiotic that requires one shot every 3 days. This one leaves no marks and you can't even tell where I gave her the shot after a day. So I'm much happier now that she looks much better and responding just fine to this treatment!
