There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Just the one side. Very, very swollen though. Hopefully not affecting how he eats although I think he should be okay. He gave a big yawn around 13:00 so he still has good articulation of his jaw, it just depends how much downward pressure he can attempt without it becoming excruciating. An abscess, if it's that, that doesn't heal and prevents eating will be just as deadly as anthrax.
But that's literally worst case, it could also be a contact injury that will heal up. I think he will be fine, personally. These animals go through a lot.
