Even after 81 rescues, I can still be surprised by what I find. This is Finn, a 8 month old beardie I just rescued. I thought he would be a simple rescue. I knew he had a wound on his nose from a tank mate, but I expected it to be easy.
Wrong! The wound is 2 to 3 weeks old and destroyed both of his nostrils and ripped open his sinus. Luckily, it does not go into the roof of his mouth.
Finn has MBD and can't close his mouth because it's misshapen and can't close his mouth because that is the only way he can breathe.
Oh and he spent 9 hours today in a cardboard box with no heat or lights or food or water. Only toilet paper.
This is a beardie permanently wounded by Ignorance and Fear.
