    The animal would take a long time to recover (if it did) and would not eat during that process and could likely end up starving to death given it's size if the rest doesn't kill it.

    PS: Fuzzie mice are nit appropriate size food for BP, the right food was offered just not fed responsibly that's all.
    I have to agree 100% with Deb. Not only will it take a LONG time to recover (IF it can recover at all), it may also take a very long time to die...and it breaks my heart to think of it suffering through all the cleansing treatments and antibiotic shots just to eventually die anyhow. Poor little thing.
