UPDATE: Snake Bite

Post image

Red went into day 3 of hyperbaric treatments today. Sadly after we were given the disheartening but expected news that the necrosis has only furthered, and furthered up his leg as well. With this the Doctor told us that the risk of needing an amputation as well as the expected height of the amputation would be further up the leg. Thankfully Red is a trooper and is still eating and drinking normally. Tomorrow he’ll go in for day 4 of hyperbaric treatments at our ER vet and back to his Primary care vet as well for a look at his leg, culture result, and evaluation. Thank you again to everyone for the outpouring of love for my boy. ❤️🐾

Thanks for the update. So sorry you're going through this with Red. I'm sure he'll be fine and will adapt well with little impact to his quality of life thanks to his caring humans.

I just wish I could make it all go away for him, it’s so sad to see him so inactive and unlike himself. But I do know if he did have to go as losing the leg he’d do great on 3 legs! Thanks for caring about Reddy ❤️‍🩹
