GAH! litterbug casualty
Here is what happens when someone throws a cup out their window. What you see being cut off of this baby skunk is a domed lid from a drink. The skunk, dubbed Mercedes after the car of the man who saved her, was likely trying to lick the inside of the cup. She was lucky(?) enough that the lid was so tight on her body that maggots couldnt feed on her.
Graphic pics behind the cut for the folks who get woozy.
the culprit
This is her elbow. Yeah, thats muscle you can see
maybe we should have called her Slice?
And one happy pic to end with:
She is now on antibiotics, and being cleaned twice a day. Poor thing. Shes only about 4m old, too. The man who caught her has been trying to do so for 3 days, since he first saw her. He stayed up til 3am to get her. She is a lucky little stinker.
