Generally, the skin of the wings is highly elastic and incredibly efficient at regenerating. They can heal well, but unfortunately I have also read of cases where something like barbed wire cause extensive damage that necessitated euthanasia.
Wrong, it’s a wing piercing hole from the bat’s rebellious days (that’s why it’s only on the left side, that’s the cool side to get a piercing). Takes a while for those gauge wingrings to heal.
It’s an injury, sadly, but doesn’t look like it’s negatively affecting her quality of life because of how small it is.
Poor sky-pup. Hope it doesn’t bug her.
I never thought of how injuries to a membrane like that would heal? 🤔
