Figure 5 . Marley ' s muzzle was removed after she had been returned to the crate to recover .
After around 5 minutes , Marley was lifting her head and sitting up in her crate , so she was discharged from the clinic and returned to the conservation centre , where she was kept inside overnight . Marley was prescribed a course of antibiotics ( amoxicillin trihydrate and clavulanic acid 250 mg [ Noroclav ], BID for 7 days ), which were administered in her favourite food . The wounds healed well and she completely recovered from her injury .
