Wounded Bull Snake, what should I do?
Hello everyone.
I'm not sure if I am in the right place to post this. Nevertheless...
I was mountain biking just a little while ago and came across a Bull Snake with 3 puncture wounds, assuming from a dog, and a tail that appears to have been run over. The puncture wounds seem superficial, however the run over tail is quite mangled.
The tail has the stench of rotting flesh, and is dirty and twisted. The twisted part is below the anus, more toward the tip of the tail.
I plan to release the bull snake back into the wild (far away from the mountain bikes and K-9s) but I want to give it some time to heal first. What aid can I give to the snake to help this process. I planned to periodically put neosporin (antibiotic ointment) on the tail until it gets better. However, if this does not work and the tail is already infected, what other options do I have?
I appriciate and thank you for any input.
