BAD ARM!

Posted by SPENCE on August 19, 1999 at 21:26:24:

WE RECENTLEY RESCUED AN IGUANA WITH A BAD ARM. A TRIP TOO OUR LOCAL VET (REFERED TO US BY OUR LOCAL HERP SOCIETY) REVEALED THAT HE HAS A BAD ABCESS ONNN THE ELBOW AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY (50/50 THE DOC THINKS) THAT THE ARM MAY NEED TO BE AMPUTATED. TWO QUESTIONS: IF AMPUTATION IS A POSSIBILITY, WHY NOT JUST SURGICALY REMOVE THE ABCESS INSTEAD OF ALL THESE INJECTIONS WE CURRENTLY ARE DOING, AND DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW AN IGGY WILL DO WITH 3 LIMBS? THANKS.
