Chirping
My poor OEGB got two of her toes caught in the track of our barn door. She lost the toes and the pad of her foot is pretty beat up. I cleaned it initially with hydrogen peroxide, antibiotic ointment, and Veterycin spray. Wrapped her up, good to go. She was putting pressure on it and walking yesterday after it happened. Today, she doesn't want to use it much, if at all. I'm cleaning her wound every few hours with Veterycin and ointment and applying new gauze, but her pad is squishy, red, and bulging. I'm not sure if it's because it too was injured or it's become infected.
A worker at the local farm store recommended using nitrofurazone on the foot, but I'm wondering if I return that and get an oral or injectable antibiotic?
Side note - she is eating and drinking just fine.
I would appreciate some help. I'm so worried about my girl!
