hello,ive got i silkie that i just realized has bumblefoot.it looks bad to me but shes acting fine.no limping,doesnt seem to be in pain.shes running,scrating,digging in the dirt.the only reason i saw it is because she had something stuck to her so i flipped her over to cut it off and saw the brown raised circle.my question is,should i leave her alone as long as shes acting ok and keep an eye on her,or do i definitely need to do the surgery?i really dont want to do the surgery,im not sure i could do it..
thanks for any advice...
well i got the hard callous part off but there was no plug that came with it.i also couldnt get anything out of it.so i guess that means either i caught it real early before alot of infection set in,or i did it wrong.i really didnt feel comfortable doing it.so i put a whole lot of neo,no pain in the hole and wrapped it.it was so dark by the time i was done i just put her in a cage in the living room with food and water and covered the cage.ill put her back out in the morning.if it isnt healed in a few days maybe ill just take her to the vet...
