This savannah came in yesterday surrendered. She has apparently barely eaten in 3 months. She's is extremely calcium deficient and dehydrated. Her "ankles" in front are so week that she walks she ends up walking on the tops of her feet. It breaks my heart. She was dropped "a short distance" and her tail is a little kinked, possibly broken near the base. She also has a slight respiratory from being kept too dry. The WORST part is she came from someone who has been working with animals for years. This person is known to neglect things so its really no surprise.
For all of her issues, she is pretty alert. She's really interested in people and tilts her head listening to me talk. Before her soak I didn't even know if she was going to make it. She barely wanted to move or open her eyes. She came home to be nursed back to health I have her on baytril and Calcium bicarbonate. I did also get her to eat a bit.
At first she was only coming home to get healthy. In the matter of 12 hours my fiancé and I reasoned with ourselves that by the time she's healthy we wont want her to go anywhere. Its not set in stone but knowing us.. We lost our male in august and he was honestly part of the family. We had no intention on another but I suppose we'll see
