Yesterday was a very busy day at the sanctuary. There was a fight in Honey B’s group in the afternoon where she sustained a multilayered laceration to her lower right eyelid. Thankfully there was no damage to the eye itself, but the injury did require some stitches. Everyone quickly jumped into action to get Honey B prepared for her sedation. Dr. Erin was already onsite and the process was started right away. Honey B did well under anesthesia and was returned to a cozy room with blanket nests lovingly prepared for her by Kelsi, and socks on her feet to make sure she didn’t get cold. She has spent most of today resting after her eventful day yesterday and will stay separated from her group for several days to allow us to better monitor her healing.
Below is a photo from the procedure, and some photos from after Honey B was returned to her room to recover.
