    Re: Crestie care after a dropped tail

    He's been moved and we are getting latches for the door to the room tomorrow so that I can't happen again.

    He's in a tub while we are here, unfortunately didn't have room for his tank in the car with everything else, and it's a 12 hr drive so multiple trips weren't possible.

    I have no idea how she got the lid of the tub off, damn cat didn't even knock the tub over. It's now on the top shelf of a 6ft bookshelf - I'm relatively certain the cat can't get up there, she is NOT what you would call graceful. The in-law's cats aren't allowed in the room, but with the door not latching she managed to pull it open. Tomorrow, we will get locks to keep it shut so that things can't be repeated -.-


    Internal injuries are my worry as well, but he's not showing any tenderness - didn't shy away from being held or gently palpated when I took him out. The bruising is small, just the size of her teeth, so it's not spreading like I would expect internal bleeding to. And yeah, the vets here would basically just advise me to monitor him, and if anything serious was wrong they would euthanize him. There unfortunately isn't anyone here with the knowledge really to treat exotics.

    I've put out some repashy for him, and given him a gentle mist. If he starts acting odd or seems off tomorrow I'll reassess things.

    Thanks guys.

    Cautiously optimistic for the time being...
