help with chief

AquaPython · 05-05-2009, 11:37 AM

guys can anyone help me out here?
chief has a bad infection - i believe it to be scale rot, and i need to get rid of her (because of H)
pet stores wont accept her as a donation even because it could threaten there existing stock.
i am not going to pay 65 bucks for a vet when all i need is $10 bottle of antibiotics
is there some animal shelter that will take her?

call the humane society and ask if they know anyone who can take her.

Poor chiefie

you can get antibiotics over the counter at Tractor Supply or any other livestock supply store - the trick is to get the right dose/concentration calculated for tiny animals.

If you are going to give her up anyway, just contact a rescue organization.

i tried calling places, very little help
i got the human society to offer to put her down

Curb · 05-05-2009, 02:07 PM

dude...lets get her healed up and i'll take her until you can find her a sutable home...but i'm changing her name to Alberta

AquaPython · 05-05-2009, 03:19 PM

cool - dont get the alberta reference though.
im trying to get the guy from underground to check his stock if he has the baytril antibiotic.
i was told its mostly an injection though... i really dont want to have to bring her to a vet.

Alberta is the female incarnate of the UF mascot.

That would be great if he can get the baytril. I remember when I had to take Eden to the vet for that shot...cost me $200 for four rounds of it

LOZ · 05-05-2009, 07:43 PM

that sucks mike. good luck finding a home. and thats nice of Curb for holding her in the mean time.

fuck putting her down, I would just drive to a heavy wooded area, far away and release her... if it came down to killing her or letting her go.

best of luck.

Mikey, Call the WILD LIFE CARE CENTER. I volunteered there for a few years and they take anything which is NOT a dog or cat. All parrots, shakes, skunks, etc are accepted there. They will nurse it back to health and then find a home for it.
