Topic: injured slow worm ? cat bite
My daughter and her friend have also just found a slow worm. Unfortunately the injuries are not clean. My guess is a cat. There are two pairs of puncture wounds just over an inch apart. There is another single pair and also a single deep wound. The double puncture wounds are quite puffy and are obviously unclean, one has a few hairs stuck in the wound. The slow worm is slower than it should be, but it is moving and can flex the whole length of its body. The girls have timed it flicking it's tounge. If we should clean deep puncture wounds, how do we do it? We have it in a large plastic storage box with a small dish of water, a handful of commercial compost, and a cardboard tube.JavaScript:AddSmileyIcon('[8 (]') Eleanor |

Hello Bruce, thank you very much for replying. I did not think I should interfere too much with wounds of that nature.The vets office said to call back at 08:00 Monday. I will do this. The three junior members of the Reptile Savers Society say that they are working very hard to look after the slow worm 'Sammy'. They don't know if it's a girl or a boy.JavaScript:AddSmileyIcon('  ')JavaScript:AddSmileyIcon
