Mama Doe
This little charmer is Edwin He is a bout 6 weeks old and has been 'had' by a cat. The RSPCA were called to a house where a ladies cat had killed one rabbit, injured this one and was tormenting the rest. RSPCA being RSPCA they were not too interested in this little one :roll:
He has a full skin thickness wound to his leg, just about all the way around. He had a GA today to clean it up and the choices were to suture it, leave it or amputate it. There isnt much skin left to suture and amputation seemed a bit drastic at this stage, he has full use of his leg. So the vet felt the wound might be best healed by second intention, but it will take a lengthy process and if it turns necrotic he may still lose his leg. If it gets to this he will hopefully adapt very quickly due to being so young. He's with me for the time being but will be looking for a new home when the time is right.
