I noticed Lavender being a bit cautious with one of her back feet this morning, took a step closer and noticed one of her nails/toes seemed to be stickign out at an odd angle. I didn't even bother having a closer look, the fact she showed it hurt is enough, so off we went to the vet this afternoon.
She seems to have almost broken off the end of her toe just below the base of the claw. Its open on top, but not on the bottom, and it definitely looks like she has somehow snapped it downwards.I haven't a clue how she did it! Poor baby, no wonder she was being a bit gentle with it! The vet cleaned it up plus he gave her pain killer and antibiotics injections. She's going back tomorrow so the vet can have a proper look under anaesthetic, and see what he can do. We're both assuming it'll mean amputating at least part of her toe.
Poor Lavender, she's not happy, shes sat upstairs in her cardboard house looking grumpy, she wouldn't even come out for her dinner - so I sat and fed it to her through the window. :lol: I'm going to put her in an old cage overnight to restrict her space, and then its ready for tomorrow too.
So, has anyone else had similar experiences with their buns? I assume she'll be ok with one less toe?!
