This is Ducky, my newest rescue. She was dropped off at a local pet shop with the worse over grown beak and nails I have ever seen. The pet shop trimmed them up and put her up for sale at an outrageous price of 200! She was in a 15 gallon tank, with a UV light, a bowl of water, and loose substrate. This is how she has lived for the past 6 months or so where she has broken my heart every week when o go in for supplies but simply did not have the funds to bring her home. My husband was with me when I first saw her and he wrongly assumed that she was in good hands now and would be taken care of, so yesterday when he came with me again he was shocked to see she was still there and no better for wear. My husband picked her up handed her to me and said she's coming home with us, merry Christmas baby. I couldn't be happier! To finally get her out if that situation and to a place where she can heal was the best Christmas present ever! However, upon getting her home and cleaned up I realized she was in much worse condition than I had originally thought. The way that they had trimmed her beak and nails split them in several places, she is missing about half of her lower jaw, and something is happening with her tail! Her jaw, and tail seem to be old injuries in which healed on their own. I am treating the split on her beak with Neosporin and she is on antibiotics to ensure any infection that may have set in is treated. When I cleaned her up, I discovered that their was alot if substrate packed in her mouth where she us missing her jaw.
