***UPDATE**** Nico's Journey, further deterioration and vet bill

[Chocolate Muffin's]

If it was determined to be a thermal burn, have you figured out what caused it ?
Just so you can make sure, it won't happen again.

Good luck and quick recovery to Nico

Thanks Zina ~

Yes, I fixed her cage the day it happened. I originally thought it was a burn until the vet said it was an infection. So I assumed that he was right. I really gave him a good description of events, but I know now that if I had the knowledge, I would have known that this is how a thermal burn appears, and that it can appear and present much later than the intial trauma.

This experience has taught me a great deal...its a constant learning experience with these amazing creatures.

Here's hoping for nothing but better news every day. I wonder if the new meds aren't the reason for the quick turn around? Either way, I'm glad things are going in the right direction.
