Hi All! Well, I've gotten another rescue... Rosie. Someone found this sweetie in the woods. And took her home to live with their male box turtle. Bad news... She has several bites on her legs and rear end. When they realized what was happening and knew they couldn't keep her they called me. I JUST brought her home so I haven't looked her over too thoroughly. The first thing I wanted to do was get some heat on her. And wanted her to be able to relax some. Provided I don't see any signs of infection, I was planning on soaking her in some warm/tepid water for a few minutes. Then apply iodine to the wounds. Please let me know if there is anything I should or shouldn't do. If the wounds look infected I'll take her to the vet for sure. I think the bites are 2-3 days old but I'm not certain.
Her beak seems long too.
Also, I'm assuming this is a Russian. Any thoughts on that to verify?
Thank you as always!
