Before anyone jumps on me... I have rang the vet!
Went out to the shed yesterday to do a full clean out. I've not been very well for a few days and bed-ridden so my O/H has been looking after them instead. He's totally colour blind so hadn't noticed spots of blood on the buns blankets. Due to Milly being bonded to them for just 2/3 weeks, I thought one of them had been nipped. Full check over confirmed Dexie had a teeny nip on his back... All now healed up and looks fine.
Then it was time to do their claws. I check them every week for length etc and Dexie was only checked just a week ago. Was clipping his back claws and almost missed one... Only realised because I counted them (which I don't normally do) His toes have always been small so sometimes I miss one.
Anyway, had a look and one claw had been completely ripped off, flesh has started to die off and you can see 1-2mm of bone (which would have been the quick) Started crying because I hadn't been able to see them as I'd been ill. But then, it's not the O/H's fault either, he didn't know.
I feel really upset and have no idea how he did it. They only have their litter tray in there and lots of cardboard boxes... no metal or anything it could have been caught on :/
Off to the vets in the morning and it looks like it'll be a GA and amputation. Dexie seems fine and happy. The wound isn't bleeding and looks very clean, he's not limping etc and he's eating and drinking normally (O/H and I always stay out for 15-20mins to watch whose eating and who may not be)
So yerp... vibes for Dexie please
