I do not doubt that one bit! It already appears to be healing nicely. They're hardy little creatures, no argument there.
I'm glad the owner is now properly informed. Most do not mean harm, but are simply lazy, in my opinion. It's never a good idea to rely on the first source of information you come across. Any animal requires research for proper care. I've encountered first hand a situation in which the owner meant well but just wasn't well informed. I'm still in contact with the previous owner of my first rescue, who was a class pet. The kids have enjoyed seeing her transformation since I received her.
