hey,

I heard a bunch of cats making a real loud noise outside about 25 minutes ago and went to check it out.

As soon as i saw them scratching and thrashing at the grass i knew they had something and scared them away,

It was a Blue tongue skink and in bad shape. They have punctured its neck and back in a couple of places and although im no expert i fairly certain that it is paralyzed from the neck down.

Its legs are sprawled out and haven't moved at all, its breathing is very labored too.

I offered it food and water and it just doesn't have the strength to do anything.

Any idea what to do? It will either pass away or continue to live on completely paralyzed.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

-
Peace

Just checked on it again, it has passed away. Wish i could have done more, but hey what more can you do but make it comfortable and try giving it a little food and water.

Damn feral cats.
