Max trapped his foot in the door :(

The balcony door swung closed as my OH opened a window and trapped Maxs foot :( It was only open a few inches originally and I caught it at the last minute so it didn't fully close on him but definitely caught it :(

He's putting his weight on it ok, walking on it and he had a wash with it, but when standing still he's holding it up :cry:

My vets are closed now, is this an emergency? I'm thinking not but I don't want him to be in pain :(

He's eating fine, munching hay as I type.

His poor little foot :cry:
 
If it were one of my Buns I'd administer a dose of Metacam and also check the foot for obvious tenderness/swelling.

Thanks Jane. I don't have any Metacam in unfortunately :(

I haven't checked it yet as I didn't want to mess with it straight away incase it hurt. I'll have a look in a mo.

He seems to be putting it down more now.
 
Poor Max, hope his is better soon. That is the only worry with them inside. I sleep more lightly now incase OH gets up and accidently treads on Mr B in the middle of the night.
 
Ouch! :( If he's putting weight on it then I'd think it was just bruised and keep an eye on him if he's happy and eating. Hope he'll be OK xx
 
Thanks guys :)

He doesn't seem to be holding it up atall now and is being naughty and annoying me as usual ;)

I'll be keeping a very close eye on him. Hopefully it's just a bit bruised.
 
Aww...poor Max. The OH's seem to be having a tough time with windows and doors on the forum this weekend. :(
Bless him, I hope his foot will be okay. Thinking of you. xxxx

Very true :lol: My OH was absolutely gutted about it so I couldn't tell him off.

Max is right as rain this morning, no signs of having a sore foot atall :D
