I have just come back from a few days away, my buns were being looked after at home but I was really dismayed to find that Pip had broken a toe when I returned. My buns have a large area to run around in and I can only assume that she perhaps slipped or jumped off something and landed awkwardly on the foot (they have a box they love to sleep in so maybe it was this?). I whizzed her to the vet who has given me some Metcam for her and her toe is done up with durapore tape. She has licked and pulled the first lot of tape off but I have replaced it, trying to keep the toes together for support. It is the outside toe on her back foot and the toe is sticking out and swollen, hence the tape. I am worried that if it doesn't heal properly she will have to have the toe amputated
Has anyone any advice or has anyone had this happen to a bun? She is doing everything normally otherwise but is looking very sorry for herself and uncomfortable. I feel pretty miserable about it too.
