Spotted Tree Monitor


This spotted tree monitor (a small species of goanna) was caught by a cat and has a deep puncture mark on its pelvic area. Cat bites, like most animal bites are very prone to develop serious infection. Often if they survive the physical bite they die later from infection. This little fellas wounds were flushed and cleaned and given antibiotics to give him a much better chance.
