    I think it is looking really good. TRY to keep it as dry as possible. It will heal slower if it is soggy. Even if you have to cage her for a week or so. But it looks really good and you shouldn't have to go back in there if it is kept clean and dry. Great job and keep us posted! :-)

    Looks like you wrapped it well. As long as the wrapping is not to much like a ball on the bottom of the foot, she should be good to walk. It looks soft on all that bedding so I think you did a great job! I try not to cut into live tissue since it opens up more places for infection. I usually...

    Welcome to BYC! Looks like you did a fantastic job! Yes, infection attaches itself to the tissues inside the pad. You got the worst of this infection out and it should heal completely. Did you pack the hole with some antibiotic ointments? Make SURE to bandage up the foot well with vet...
