Having her poorly feet soaked in sea salted water




Her hock is looking a bit better

from this



to this



She has started to chew off the bandages now, so I am having to leave them off as if she ingests a lot of bandage/dressing we are in even more trouble.

The symptoms of her suspected Thymoma have not become any worse yet, but you can see that her eyes are bulging slightly. This can become much worse if she is stressed

Bless her. You have worked wonders with those poorly feet. Does she co-operate when you bathe them? I can imagine Berry would go nuts! Hope you are having a good coping day. X x

Yes, she is very good. Even when her feet are especially sore. She has pain relief given about an hour before I do the foot soaks.

Good grief...I never thought of using a salt water brine to help the bunnies with their sore feet. (forehead slap) I used to live near the beach and there wasn't anything better for my aching dogs than a good soak in the surf!

I think I'll give that a try for both Fiver and Mimzy...if they'll cooperate. My vet wanted me to use really weak betadine but I worry I won't get it all rinsed off and they'll ingest it. Salt water wash is far easier to clear away.

I really hope Lady Lydia's feet will be feeling better soon. xxxx
