My new Nosy Be is a WC adult female. I was told she was a tail amputee ..suggested that it probably happened at a young age, as it was fully healed. Then I got her home.. she arrived, today.
Not only is most of her tail gone, but one of her feet has 3 toes almost completely severed. They are quite literally hanging by dry, necrotic threads of tissue.
Should I have expected this?
I usually don't encourage WC anything and I've only had a couple LTC animals in my care, over the years (rescues that someone dumped on me), so I am at a loss. When I saw her being auctioned off, I felt sorry for her and threw out a random bid. As I watched the auction throughout the rest of the day, my heart strings started pulling... and I waited to throw out the winning bid, in the last few seconds. But I did not know she was going to be a twice amputee (once those toes are removed by my Vet) and possibly gravid and who knows what else is going on.
I'm not looking for any solution, nor am I looking to put salt on anyone (the seller). I am genuinely curious if this is commonplace with WC Chams, so I will know to never ever let my heart strings drive my bidding finger again.
