Honestly, I am at a loss for words. Unbelievable
Re: Need some perspective (gore)
Oh my, i dont know what to say. I cant believe it. Poor thing
Re: Need some perspective (gore)
i don't know whats worse how long did the rat chew on this poor thing or someone who is just going to let it fix itself.
Re: Need some perspective (gore)
Go ahead and call animal control on the hope that you were given the correct address~ but probably the address offered will not be the address where the animal is actually located......who in their right mind would admit to having that animal in thier care, refusing medical care to it, and offer their address to concerned strangers? But call them just to cover all the bases.
It's sad~ but that animal needs to be destroyed. I know there is a "Chance" and all that~ but it's highly unlikely that wound would heal~ even with extensive vet care..............
The kindest thing would be to destroy it~ if whoever has it is reading this~

would you be able to go pick up the snake and take her to the ER? or at the very least to a clinic tomorrow? The girl seems to have a condition that she not just get euthanized - like she won't give her up unless it's to try and get her fixed up.

I agree, Cheryl, but this girl is seriously stubborn. She seems to be willing to work with the idea of someone coming to take the snake to the vet for treatment (but not euthanasia).
It's something, at least. *hopes*
Re: Need some perspective (gore)
That is beyond words. You cannot 'save' a snake in that condition (spine ligaments, nerves and most of the connective tissue are completely gone). They did not 'rescue' the snake at all. This animal needs to be put down as quickly as possible, I can't even imagine how much suffering this poor thing is having to bear.
If the rescuer is reading this, PLEASE take this animal to the nearest emergency vet. If you cannot afford it, please PM me, but one way or another, you CANNOT let this go on any longer. Please do the right thing.

Jeez. Even the tops of the vertebrae have been chewed off in places. I'd love to know who the SOB that left the rat in with it is...........

Ditto. I'd love to make sure that this person was punished to the full extent of the law. Is there a law they could be ripped to shreds with? I mean, Jeez, I can't even look at the picture anymore. I keep crying.
Re: Need some perspective (gore)
That's absolutely disgusting. I can't believe it hasn't been taken to the vet or put down. That snake has to be in the worst pain possible. The poor thing should be put out of it's misery if I'm seeing correctly. The ribs are.....ate....at least that's what I'm seeing :puke:
