MrsGrahamS came home at lunchtime yesterday to find this poor little critter being tossed between two magpies. 😥
She took him to the vet, who cleaned out a nasty wound on its chest, but said it was otherwise fine.
We took him home and managed to give him some food, water and a dose of antibiotics via syringes. I constructed a little house for him and we left him overnight, hoping the shock and the wound wouldn’t kill him…
Woke up this morning to the sound of chirping. 😀
Little fighter was looking much brighter, but we couldn’t persuade him to take any breakfast so after much debating we decided, after applying more antibiotics topically, that the best thing was to release him and hope we’ve done enough for him.
Good luck little fella!
