Swelling On Duck's Toe ~ PICTURE ~ URGENT
Thanks...I'll quit being in a panic! I've been putting the clear iodine on (it's actually been about every 2-1/2 days). I have a 5' kiddie pool just for Lucy. I'll let her swim today and then look at the scab & see if I can get to it. I just feel bad when I see her standing and not putting... -
