How are the little guys doing?

Well I guess it going better, I've been doing Epson salt soak three times a day and started putting first antibiotic ointment on the feet three times a day. I also rinse with neosporin three times a day after the soak....I also started putting bandages on the feet.

Should I still wrap up their feet? I read somewhere that triple antibacterial stuff is waterproof..I just don't want them getting an infection

Yeah, but walking around etc, will rub it off... if you can, I would do some fresh air time for their feet after a soak at least once a day... give them a couple old towels to run around on for a bit... might help them dry up a bit and get some healing done...

I soaked their feet today and let them all run around about an hour they loved it,i hope it does some good. I'm pretty positive that some of them will loose some toes. One forsure it's black this has definitely been hard on me I feel so horrible
