Mating Wound - 10/02/10 01:19 PM
Just wanted to let everyone know that I have been dealing with a mating wound the last few days. Discovered that Luna had a quarter sized wound on her Right back shoulder area on Wednesday night. I was surprised I didn't discover this sooner as I had been in and out of her cage. Her little joey went to her new home last Sunday.
She went to the vet yesterday morning and she debrided and sutured the area. Dr. Schneider is a wonderful vet and did a great job. When Luna was waking up out of anesthesia she of course wanted to go right for the wound. The wound went around the back towards her neck. We were able to keep her away from it. Dr. Schneider put topical lidocaine on it too, and she already had metacam.
I kept her on me all day yesterday and slept with one eye open all night. She seems to be doing well thank God. I just gave her the antibiotic and the pain med just so she stays comfortable through today.
I am so glad she left that wound alone all day. Got up a couple of times during the night. Hoping her recovery continues to go well.
