Help big problem look

[CameronVarnish]

My friend's young retic got out and was trapped between a drawer that was pulled back with him in it and his skin was ripped pretty bad, around an inch. Any advice before he can get to the vet?

Try to keep the skin flap moist (antibiotic ointment will work). Can't see from pic, but if tissue is devitalized, it'll need to be debrided. It'll need irrigated thoroughly by vet, and hopefully, if tissue still viable, it may be tacked back down w sutures. Going to vet tomorrow?

you need to get him to a vet as soon as one opens today mate

that requires stitches

please let us know how it goes

Don't have anything else to add, good advice already been given.. I hope they can stitch it up real soon! poor thing.

[CameronVarnish]

Alright guys, thanks a lot! I hope he's going to the vet early today.
