Into Home's Loving Embrace

[attackfish]

Sully is home from the vet's now, and in an isolation tank made out of a clear Rubbermaid container with holes drilled in the lid for ventilation. He has a heating pad under half the tank in case he gets cold. He's walking around, and asking for cuddles, and he takes his antibiotics like a champ. I have him in my office with me, and when I gave him his breakfast, he dove right into the scrambled eggs, so he's eating and drinking well, and getting plenty of protein.








He will have to be in the tank for up to eight weeks, and until his wounds are fully closed, I have to clean them every day and put antibiotic cream on them, which he hates, but he lets me do it.  He has a lot of bruising, and is in a lot of pain, and my brave boy will have battle scars, but he's on the road to a healthy recovery.

I hope that things are continuing to improve.

Thank yo. Every day he gets a little better, and now, he's strong enough to be very, very bored.
