I am desperate for any and all help and suggestions, for my sweet little girl "Sooka Sweat P"
My long time local wildlife vet is out of his office on a medical leave of his own for a few weeks I've been told, so I am desperately seeking advice where ever I can find it. let me tell you A little about me and "Sooka Sweet P"
I worked for a local wildlife sanctuary 12 yrs ago when "sooka" was brought in as an injured and orphaned baby about 3 wk's old as a result of being knocked out of her nest from hurricane "Charley" along with her male sibling whom did not survive. She responded well to treatments and healed from all of her wounds: In which she had a laceration on her right shoulder, her right eye was temporarily blind her right ear was ripped and her right hand was severed in half, now this girl had the will to survive i could tell immediately she wanted to live, so her paw was stitched back together and her laceration on her shoulder was sewn up and her ear was cleaned up (which she only has half a right ear) and over time she regained her eye site in her right eye. Amazingly she thrived despite all her injuries, I hand fed her and cared and tended her wounds and dressings. i still expected to see her go back to the wild, once she healed up and was able to be introduced back into an enclosure with mates her age i did just that, she no longer came to me and was really integrating well with the others, so when it was time for her to be released I did so on my property (which was heavily wooded w/ lots of oaks and pine trees) with 5 other mates that she had become well adjusted with, sadly the next morning I discovered her in my yard injured yet again with no hair on her tail this time, which led me to believe she wasn't fearing predators the way she should to survive in the wild so i along with the wildlife vet at the time deemed her unfit to live in the wild due to her lack of fear for predators and so i asked if i could adopt her and was granted the right seeings how i cared for her originally and she seemed to have become partial to me and would allow only myself to handle her without biting me, she bit any one else who tried to handle her.
So fast forward to now... Thurs 22nd Sept 2016 "Sooka" is now 12 yo and has been very healthy up and in till this past Thurs evening when she started displaying signs of lethargy and seeming like she is spacing out and unable to sit up with out my assistance it is truly breaking my heart to see her so sick. I've been advised by my personal vet that she could have (MBD) and from what I've been reading it can show signs abruptly as is her case or could show up slowly. Regardless she/we need help, my vet gave her sub Q fluids and a vitamin B12 shot yesterday and i started her on calcium supplements last night and have been administering every 3 hrs to her, she has shown very little progress, this morning she has eaten a little bit of a cherry tomato and a small bit of avocado with my help in holding her up. I am sick to my stomach to see her so ill and uncomfortable and i don't know what else to do, I've also put a call in to my local wildlife rescue org. and she's out of town for a conference. i feel stuck and desperate and I need some guidance "Sooka Sweet P" is my girl and she means the world to me and I am willing to do any thing needed to help her. so any and all advice is welcome at this point!
