My poor little Fazon escaped (with the help of my son) and was MIA for 2 days. I figured that he'd be in the room where we keep him, so I laid out a pinky lure and waited...but he was oh-so-smarter than I. Apparently he made a break for it before I got the towels under the door... ANYWAY...
I found him about an hour ago, in the living room, by the sliding glass door. He was SO COLD but worse than that, the very tip of his tail seems to have been SMASHED!!! I shudder to think how....
We're going to the vet tomorrow, but I want to know what I can do for him in the interim! I have him in a small plastic bin, with paper towels and a water dish and hide. I have that on a heating pad set to low, and covered the whole thing with a blanket, to keep him as calm as possible. Should I put anything on the tail? I read that some people put Neosporin or something on cuts...should I do that?
Are they going to have to amputate that little piece of tail?? What happens if they do? Will he be ok? Is he going to get an RI from being so cold? Could he die just from the shock of it all??
I adore my little guy and I'm so worried...hope someone is on..
