    Turkey fell off slaughter truck- Rescued but needs help!

    Thank you everybody for the kind words. It was disappointing, but not unexpected. On the plus side, the shed has been cleaned out and de-cluttered for the first time in who-knows-how-long! I really do appreciate all the help and encouragement that everybody here flooded me with, it was far more...

    Turkey fell off slaughter truck- Rescued but needs help!

    Whelp everybody I hate writing this update, but I am sorry to report that Sebastian didn't Make it through the night. It really seemed like he was getting better, he even moved himself over yesterday, but the trauma of everything that has happened just must have been too much for him. I take...

    As promised, a picture of him without the weird lighting for a more accurate color pic. Here he is so proud of himself after biting the syringe with his pain meds out of my hand and flinging it across the shed! Dont worry I did eventually get him to take them but not without taking a peck to the...

    I have some tiny dried shrimps that I got to feed my tortoise, but he didn't like them. Would Sebastian be okay trying those?

    It's actually a double bulb fixture. At night I put on a black light heat bulb that doesn't produce any light but still keeps it nice and warm in the shed!

    He is pale which is concerning, but not nearly as pale as he appears in the pictures. It's the one heat lamp I have in there (a MVB - full spectrum UV - hanging high enough that it just keeps things warm under it, not directly over top of Sebastian!) - makes everything appear green in the...

    I didn't think about the grit! I'll get him a little bowl of stuff for his gizzard when I get home today!

    Thank you! Sebastian did well again overnight! Didn't see any bugs this morning either! As you can see in the picture, he is DEFINITELY favoring his right side, constantly leaning like that. I wish I could get him x-rays but hopefully it heals up on its own. It doesn't seem too bad and he...

    Turkey fell off slaughter truck- Rescued but needs help!

    I am happy to report to everybody that a very thorough check tonight has revealed no maggots!!!!!!! He got off relatively easy then. I just sprayed with the permethryn, some antibacterial saline solution and sealed it up with vaseline to see if any would come out to breathe. Then I sat back and...
