Silky with Swollen Foot

[Eggcessive]

I think that for now, I would keep her on something soft, such as a towel or puppy pads over top of pine shavings.

Update: her feet seem to be less swollen but she still doesn’t like to walk on one of her feet. I will post new pics soon.

Can you post one of her standing so that we can see both feet and legs? What is her normal leg color? You could try some aspirin in her water, 325 mg tablet to each 6 ounces of water for pain. She does have a bumblefoot scab on one foot, but I would not even think about working on that until the frostbite issue is done. Are you still doing soaks to her feet and using Vetericyn?

I have been soaking her feet daily. I will start using Vetericyn but I haven’t been using it. Here are the pictures:

These are her feet after being soaked. Sorry her feet had some poop on them tonight.

The close up pictures are of the foot that she doesn’t like walking on.

Poor baby! Continue to treat as @Eggcessive recommended. Best of luck and hoping for a speedy recovery for your sweet Silkie!

Thank you everyone. I am hoping that she will make a full recovery. She really is a sweetie.

I thought that the swelling was going down on her feet but now it seems that if her toes aren’t blackening then they are swollen. Is this the frostbite showing through? Is there any thing else that I can do to help her? I am soaking her feet and putting Vetericyn on them afterward. I also am keeping her inside. These are pictures of her feet:

The first to pictures are of the foot that she does not like to walk on. I noticed at almost all of her toes are black on that foot and on the other it seems that only two of her toes are blackening.

yes.... She will lose all the black... She may lose the whole foot

The black looks like like damaged skin. It may take more time to realize how much damage there is. Usually the part they will lose will shrivel and dry up. So sorry that she may lose toes or a foot.
