The image is from this morning after I'd soaked and washed her foot...

    Bumblefoot For Almost 8 Months

    I changed the dressing for the second time this morning. I soaked her foot for a while then used a iodine scrub, applied prid and neosporin and then dressed with gauze and vet wrap. Looking at the image, is this looking good five days after surgery?

    Bumblefoot For Almost 8 Months

    Well, I took the scab off this morning after applying prid a few times over the last week. I soaked her feet, took the scab off, which was really easy, and rinsed it with vetericyn, put some prid in and neosporin, and covered with a piece of hydrocolloid dressing, gauze and vet wrap I'll bathe...

    Interesting, thank you. I have a four and half year old girl, which is a decent age for an hybrid, I believe..She laid her first lash egg around 18 months ago. I had no idea what it was at the time, but when she did it again a couple of months later I did some research. She started to look...

    OMG What is This?

    I may have spoke to soon. She was hunched up just with her tail down. But, as you say, she may have other stuff to 3xpek, which may be making her feel uncomfortable. Thanks for your reply, I'll stick with the calcium as suggested

    Wasteproof Feeder Requirements

    I'm thinking of doing that to be honest. I have a large plastic dustbin I could use which I could easily fill with a foot of water. I baited the snap trap again last night with peanut butter, which was all gone this morning, so I'll set the trap tonight. I've heard the Squirrelinator is good for...
