My new rescue baby!

I just got this handsome bugger today. He needs some work, a vet check and some TLC, but I think he has potential to recover fully and look good! He's about 5'5 right now, good girth and muscle tone. His nose is all cut up from scraping against screen and he has bites from live rodents. Not to mention he is very dehydrated and *may* have parasites (when I can do a fecal, I'll find out for sure). He's "crispy" all over, and his skin is loose, but I've put a little pedialite in his water and given him a nice, warm, humid rubbermaid. He looks like as$ right now, but I think with some time and care and polysporin (miracle stuff!) he'll look wonderful.

Here you get an idea of how crispy he is. The picture doesn't look too bad, but it's much worse in RL. I'm hoping its only dehydration!



These are pictures of the sores on his nose which, once again, look considerably worse in RL. I put some polysporin on it, and he's in a rubbermaid now, not a tank, so it should heal now!





Thanks!
Zoe
