Orange man radix

He's lucky you're the one who found him! Skin is remarkably stretchy stuff, your vet might be able to free up enough to stitch at least part of that wound if the skin flap is healthy. (Kudos on the willingness to provide veterinary care, BTW, Steve... I've noticed you mentioning going to the vet a lot. I think it's only fair if you're going to take an animal into your care that it gets medical attention when needed.)

In case you're taking suggestions, I'd be awfully tempted to name him Tang with that electric orange coloring!

Thanks for your comments. It's not only fair but I feel it's my responsibility. I have a great Vet. who at times doesn't charge me or reduces the charge. He understands my situation and helps when he can. I feel there's a reason they came into my care and I have to provide for them.
At times I do come up on the short end of the deal but I don't just look at the money. I look at the lessons it teaches my kids about caring for animals, even if it an injured garter snake.
A friend from my office gave me a free turtle(ha, free) Eye drops for the eye infection. A 5 day stay for ear infections and the turtle is far from free. The upside is my daughter knows I care about her pet and that money isn't everything.

I think Tang is a great name and I will use it, thanks.
