Health concerns: Diana is currently being treated for a history of extreme bumblefoot which had resulted in a deep tissue and bone infection. After intensive medical treatments including daily foot soaks, topical medications, and several oral medications Diana now only needs oral medications that provide pain relief which she will likely require for the remainder of her life. Luckily Diana takes these very willingly since they taste good! Her cage mates Mary, Florence & Betty also arrived with bumblefoot, however, their cases were much less severe and they have recovered fully.
Behavioral concerns: None.
Other Notes: Diana loves anywhere that's soft, warm, and dry. She especially loves fuzzy blankets and beds in her hides and lots of fleece or padded areas in her cage. As noted above, she arrived in poor condition to our rescue but is such a cuddly, lovable girl once you gain her trust. She will gobble up any leafy greens or veggies she's given. She's a bit on the timid/shy side at first but will warm up quickly with love, she even will climb on myself as she gets medicine. Diana enjoys her ears and head being rubbed and sometimes even a head kiss.
Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, & Betty McGlown came to MNPPR when their previous owner was no longer able to keep up with their care.
