Sambler my beautiful Ebony female was attacked by a cagemate.
She is massively pregnant, when my mom called me to say she was all wet I excpected babies when I got home. Instead I found an ebony female covered in blood. She has 20 lacerations on her head and at this time is unable to blink on her right eye. it may or may not be nerve damage hopefully not. for now after several hours at the vet she is getting eye drops every few hours. we are all hoping the inability to blink is pain and not nerve damage.
None of the cuts needed stiches and the vets are amazed that she did not go into shock. Her babies still are active in her belly and thankfully she is eating. no warnings at all just a sudden attack. when I saw her at first everyone was cuddling no one else has any injuries so it seems that she did not fight back at all. all her injuries are only on her face and neck.
Being as pregnant as she is has complicated things a bit but as long as we keep the eye moist she should be ok. I will get pictures after she settles in the medical cage. You just never know what will happen. Poor girl is not on any pain meds as the vets do not want to hurt the kits, they are due any day now. everything is topical. I am just so happy she is eating and drinking.
