WARNING - The embedded video is very graphic and may disturb some viewers.
This 18 month old female Parsons (Cera) has been in my care for just a month, and has an injured tongue. She’s small for her age at only 74 grams but is in good health. All indications are that her tongue got caught on a branch while hunting grasshoppers.
She has a very LONG tongue. Cera was taken to an exotic vet yesterday and received pain medication and antibiotics.
Luckily, the tongue appears to be healthy and retracts fully into her mouth. She is also drinking well and is well hydrated.
It could be a strain but she’s been put on a food restriction for 2 days while it attempts to heal on its own, followed by feeding of soft bugs (silk worms) directly to her mouth and then cup feeding for the foreseeable.
I’m praying for this little one.
