So some of you know that one of my four Bloods has an open sore on her head that is currently being treated and improving. She is only a few months old and is quite small. To make matters worse she has refused every meal offered to her for the last 5 weeks and has lost quite a bit of weight. So last night I decided that today I would assist her in eating. So, I defrosted 3 rat fuzzies, grabbed a Qtip, removed her from her cage, gently opened her mouth and placed the head of the rat fuzzy in her mouth. She immediately took the rat and I followed it up with two more placing the head of the next rat in her mouth as the bum of the previous rat was disappearing down her throat. She took all three, but the cutest thing was that she took it all while she layed in my hands using my hand for leverage while she swallowed. My little Ophion is so gentle. It was really a cool moment. Here is an after pic of her nice and full in her cage with her nose dosed with silvadene.
