My mother and brother were visiting early yesterday afternoon (lovely visit btw) and I walked in and saw a Chilly boy just lying on his belly in the open on the middle shelf...well that's unlike them so I went to see what was up. Then I saw the blood. I pulled him out and saw all the blood oozing from his left shoulder. Tyr is the really spooky smaller brother of the 2, and he was limp and lethargic. I got a towel and started putting pressure on the wound to stop it bleeding. Then I handed him to my brother to do the same while I checked everyone else in the cage. Not a mark on anyone...not a drop of blood on any of them. So poor Tyr must've zigged when he should've zagged and got sliced by sharp ratty teeth.
The blood kept oozing from his shoulder as he lay all wrapped up and me stroking his head talking to him.
So I ended up wrapping him up for even more constant pressure. This worked well even if I ruined my only tensor bandage...haha.
I kept him quietly on me for a couple of hours after that even though the bleeding had stopped I was going to use the time to bond with him. He really is very sweet, when he's not utterly terrified of you.
This morning I pulled him out and he was all cleaned up. Found the wound and this is the exact size of it
