Vibes for Dotty please... Update post 37

Dixie and Dotty (rspca foster buns) were moved to my mums last week as i had some foster chin babies come in and basically my house is too small!

Anyway... they have been fighting the last few days... badly. Mum split them Sunday night, and i rebonded them yesterday in a neutral cage etc. They were sitting at opposite ends of the cage ignoring each other but last night all hell broke loose. Dotty has come off badly :cry:

She has whats known as a 'de-glove' on her front paw... her skin has literally been pulled foward and the bone and everything was showing. Shes been kept in today for it to all be sewn up :( Poor girl.

Thing is, i feel so guilty as i gave Dixie a good check over this morning, noticed a big cut on her tummy about 2 inches long. Its all healed and seems its a scratch. I checked Dotty but she was really struggling so mainly checked her tummy area and didnt notice her leg at first :cry:

These girls wont be rebonded now :( Going to call the vets about Dotty in about half hour xXx

Oh poor Dotty :(. I'm sending her lots of get-well-paw vibes.

At least she has you (and your Mum) to take care of her.
 
:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: Oh no! That's heartbreaking, they looked so happy together in pictures a while ago.

Sending loads and loads of vibes for the very beautiful Dotty :love::love::love:

They were so happy, the only thing we can thing is the move caused it :( So sad. We cant risk them doing it when they go to a new home hence why they will have to be rehomed seperatly :cry:
 
How sad. They made such a lovely couple too. :cry: I hope Dotty will be ok. xx
 
ouch... sounds painful Becky :( They sound like typical girls in a playground though, don't they?!

Massive vibes for Dotty though xxxxxxx
 
Sorry for the late reply... ive been out.

Just to let you guys know Dotty is stable. I spoke to the vet on the phone, unfortunately he hasnt been able to sew it up as there wasnt enough 'fresh' skin there :? Shes being kept in overnight and we can collect her tomorrow morning all being well :)

The vet said she will need to be kept on blankets for 2 weeks and have metacam/baytril for 2 weeks... he mentioned something about needing there to be scar tissue? But i dunno what that was about, will ask again tomorrow.

Bless little Dotty :love:
 
Dotty is home :)

Hers here poorly leg :cry: It doesnt seem to be bothering her at the moment, shes eating a spring green leaf as we speak :)

Im sure this girl needs lots of healing vibes, it looks very sore :( xXx
 
Poor girl :cry:

Is she going to need a skin graft ?

I dont know Jane :? Nothing was said about one? He said something about needing to wait for a scar, or scar tissue??

It doesnt seem to be affecting her, shes hopping round as normal and is eating fine :) Shes grooming alot more than normal.

Im guessing theres a very high chance of infection??
 
Poor girl :( That looks very sore indeed.

Great to hear she's eating and hopping about ok :D

Loads more vibes for beautiful Dotty.
