HI all,
Not been on here a while - hope every ones ok...
Ive started rebonding my trio - wahooooooooooo....its been happening since thursday last week - they seem to geton most of the time but the girls are still abit edgy...some grooming going on between them which has been great and I was really hopeful for them all this morning...then it went off again...I had gone into the kitchen to get breakfast and they stopped when I came back in and I thought well let me do a check on them....after seeing another wound on Indiana that I had not noticed...( i knew there was one already) and its abit sore this one but scabbed over already - I applied some sudocreme. Then checked Arrabella - again found another wound that was scabbed over. But I found an open wound...its about 1 -1.5cm open. Ive booked a vets appointment this afternoon with a new vets....secretary said either sutures - where they would put the rabit under (obviously she hasnt seen the wound and is being thorough in suggesting this but still..this wont be necessary) then glue or staples. Im interested in the glue option as staples tend to be pulled out by them from previous experience.
My OH has searched and said we could use super-glue to glue it ourselves..and explained how. Im abit concerned as I dont know about the different types - but he searched online and said the glues are not different..and it would save the vet bill. Any advice in regards to supergluing an open wound closed..its not bleeding or weeping..just the skin is open.
The appointment is at 4 ish this afternoon. cheers
