Beck’s meltdown near the quarry had caused his stitches to tear, setting his recovery back a fair bit. On top of that, the sawbone found that it was now necessary to keep the poltergeist sedated for the rest of his recovery, administering another dose of the sedative during every visit. It was after one of these visits that the feline found himself walking home, bag in tow. At least, he had been going home until he heard a frantic voice calling his name. He gave a little sigh to himself before dutifully trotting in the direction of the voice, lugging his bag behind him.
When he arrived at the scene, his eyes went wide. Red was in a terrible shape. Just at a first glance, Selby could see scratches and stab wounds, along with a terrible looking twist, possibly a fracture. Craning his neck, he spotted that the ape’s horns had been snapped off at the base. Taking a moment to get over his initial shock, he cleared his throat and spoke. "Set him down. I can get a few things taken care of here."
Selby came closer, setting his bag down and rifling through it to pull out a suture kit, a roll of bandages, some dressing, and his spray bottle. He settled down near Red’s abdomen. "Glad you made it back alright. Take these for me?" he said quietly, offering Red some pain medication and deciding to start on the stab wound just beneath the sternum.
The medic studied the injury, and finding that nothing important had been punctured, he flushed the wound and began suturing it carefully. He’d always hated stitches, but at least they weren’t a particularly hard task. Selby applied a thin layer of a poultice to the wound and wrapped a bandage around it. He did the same for the various scratch marks, working with care and efficiency. He then looked up to the horns that had been snapped off. He’d never dealt with anything like this before... Unsure of whether or not he was doing the right thing, Selby treated them like normal wounds, minus the sutures. Moving to the cut across his nose, the medic stitched it together carefully and bandaged it.
Selby then moved towards the ankle, feeling it carefully and deducing that it was fractured. He selected a sturdy looking stick from the ground and used it to set up a sturdy splint. "Keep off this leg until I give you the okay, alright?" he said, skirting around to look at the kink in Red’s tail. Gently feeling it, Selby found the break. "I have to set and splint this. On the count of three. One... Two..." And without further warning, he quickly set it and wrapped it up in a splint. "Keep this as still as possible or it might kink while it heals."
