A snake was rescued from the CRPF security post outside Amma’s residence today. After bringing the snake out of its hideout in the roof the rescuers noticed a deep wound on the bottom half of the snakes body and decided to take it to the veterinary. The doctors found out the wound was almost 2 weeks old and that the anal area of the snake had suffered a cut and it had damaged its fecal tract (the path from where it passes stool). So they administered gaseous anaesthesia to the snake, cleaned the wound gave it four stitches, an antibiotic injection and some ointment.
The snake has been prescribed 10 days bed rest and check up and dressing change every alternative day.
