I haven't seen my male T blondi come out for a couple of weeks. Then, yesterday I noticed him at his water bowl. I also noticed his left back leg seemed to have significant injury so that it was bent in an unnatural way. It wasn't bleeding too bad while he remained calm, just seeping slowly.However, while trying to remove the leg, he began to bleed quite a bit during his struggling. I managed to pop the leg off at the base within a few seconds but it looked as if he lost about a teaspoon of blood. He was no longer bleeding once the bad leg was removed but I'm concerned about the blood loss during the struggle. He is 9"+ so is a teaspoon of blood going to cause him too much distress? Will he be able to recover?
He seems to being doing ok this afternoon but seems to be somewhat weak.
