Hi Everyone,
Last week (monday) Jessie went to the vets as Domino had bitten her ear (think it was brought on due to house move and was a one off as otherwise completely fine). Anyway she came off the anitbiotics/painkillers last thursday, her ear looked to be healing ok but noticed that there were a couple of nibbles around her ear and it was still looking purple/sore. Suspected this to be Domino and sure enough eventually I caught him doing it. I think he is trying to help but he was grooming so much he appeared to be lifting the fur and making new wounds So they have been separated, still next to each other- just a metal grid in between them. I have taken a couple of photos of her ear, its scabbing over....
So i guess my question is do I keep them separate until she is completely healed? And in everyones experience how quickly should her ear heal - bearing in mind its now been 8 days since the original injury. Her ear is quite hard and is warm to the touch, but she is very perky and seems totally unbothered by it. I gave them supervised play earlier and Domino went straight to her ear and began licking/nibbling - so separated again. Hope someone has some advice, sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasnt sure whether to put in health or not.
Any advice/shared experiences would be much appreciated...
