WHISKERS & TAILS RESCUE FOUNDATION: Operation Trap Mr. Grey For Wound Treatment

Operation trap Mr. Grey was a success! Mr. Grey has been very absent in the yard lately. Normally he is always out and about, but I noticed he hasn't been a fixture like the flowers. I have been consistently checking his hiding places in my yard and trying to keep a close watch. I finally saw him from my window and noticed he had a limp. I decided to put up a trail camera in my yard to see what was going on and at the same time ziptied a trap open and fed out of that strictly. I noticed that he had a wound on his left side and was for sure limping. I also noticed that his best friends Dr. Watson and Momma Madelina would run from him when they saw him. As soon as I saw his wound, I knew I had to trap him and bring him to the vet right away to get him treated and checked out thoroughly. The trail cam helped me to see what spots in the yard were his favorite and what times he was coming out. I set the trap last night and voila he was mine. I brought him in the house and took him to the vet today.

He was fully examined and provided his update on his vaccines, revolution, deworming, etc. His wound was a laceration that was healing so the took the scab off to flush it out and clean it and gave him a convenia antibiotic shot. They didn't feel a drain was necessary. They checked his limbs and said everything was okay and he was probably initially limping due to the wound. Mr. Grey will recover in my bathroom for another day or two and than will be released right back into my yard to be with his colony. I can't wait until this old man is feeling 100% again. In the meantime, he will get to sleep in a nice cool safe place away from this horrible weather and have meals galore. So glad to have him home with me. I'm sure his colony will be happy also once he's back at 100% too.
