Could possibly be one more in there that we can’t get out because we killed it with the capstar, the maggot info came from another rehabber. This has been by far the toughest 2 days. Two criticals, one crashes, the other crashes the next day. Y’all pray for Ringer…he is fighting so we have to fight for him.
Thank you Tuff! Being experienced to sub-q can be a game changer!
My prayers are with the little guy. Where there's a fight, there's the will.
