Yay Frosty. It's so nice to hear that she continues to do well. Thanks for the update about her laying eggs.

New Feet for Frosty!!!!

Soooo I'm having a new issue with Frosty and looking for suggestions..........
Frosty has developed a very sensitive stump, she favors it a lot and doesn't run(yes she can run) around as much anymore.
I have bandaged it so there is some padding there and that helps a lot.
I need to either find something or make something for her stumps to she is more comfortable.
Any thoughts or suggests for new feet for Frosty????

I've seen prosthetics for dogs who have lost feet. Maybe something similar?

There is this product, Stomahesive, that is used for skin protection with people with stomas or colostomies, and also widely used in babies to protect their sensitive skin when tape needs to be reapplied constantly. It is probably available at a medical supply store in various sizes, and it cuts to shape with scissors. Also it has it's own adhesive, so nothing else is needed. It could help to cut down on the friction. I'm glad to hear that Frosty is still doing well. We need a picture. Here is a link for the Stomahesive: https://www.medicalmega.com/medical...FxKboB9roICdmn1PbCUrwBcIi439VBGghgRoCGLPw_wcB

No, I've never seen it before, but it looks like it could be beneficial to Frosty or for other uses, such as bumblefoot. Have you used it before?

This is from years ago but somehow I landed here and I'm enchanted. @TRChickenRanch if you're still around please oh please update us on Frosty! Is she still around? How did she fare over time? So curious.
