4 months ago an adult CDT was turned into my CTTC chapter. The owners were babysitting a Pitt Bull and the dog ate the front leg off their pet CDT. The dogs owner wouldn't pay for the damages so the owners surrendered him to us.
We took him to the vet for surgery and he's been recovering.
He only has a small stump left of his front left leg.
After spending some time with him, I have fallen in love with him. He is pretty beat up, lots of missing scales, ripped up skin (no open wounds) and some bubbles in the nose. But that doesn't dampen this old guy's personality one bit!
My boys get to name all the torts. They chose the name Luke Skywalker for him because of the cut off arm...silly star wars fans. I wanted a different name but being the only girl, I was over ruled!
He manages to hobble around ok but my husband is looking into "wheel" options. We do plan to give him some time to settle in before trying something like that.
Here he is. any of you CDT experts have tips for me?
I'm pretty sure he is a he. I used Yvonne's sexing thread to determine that since I'm new to these guys.
