Update on Prince…
He was given a lot of sedatives yesterday at Auburn trying to calm him down enough to be handled, he is scared and in a lot of pain and his adrenaline was in overdrive so there for the sedatives were not taking effect, until they did and they knocked him out cold. He has basically slept for all of yesterday. He is struggling to keep his body temperature up, so he’s been being kept warm. He has a lot of necrotic skin, and needing regular debrising, which will allow his skin to start healing. Sadly, this is chemical burns. He was not set on fire, this is not result of untreated mange, and we will never know what chemical or how it happened. The gradual worsening is due to the chemical staying on him allowing it to keep eating away at his skin. And now he definitely has secondary infections.
Prince is still heavily sedated from yesterday’s sedatives but he is able to stand and wake up now…and on pain medication, as well as IV fluids and medications he needs.
This boy has a long fight ahead of him. For now we will take it one day at a time, but rest assured he is in the best hands with Dr Marisol.
His pictures are extremely hard to see, so we will not post here yet.
Please keep this boy in your thoughts, and prayers. He needs every single one of them.
