Hi Infirm squad
I clipped Stuart's nails last night. He gave a mighty kick and twist as I was cutting the last nail on his foot.
The entire nail came off!!!:shock:
All that was left was the quick.
He gushed blood for about an hour and 1/2 last night. I packed his toes with cornstarch and applied pressure for that time.
Gave 1/4 tab children's motrin.
There is no more blood coming out this AM.
Another 1/4 tab this AM at 7. He is currently confined to a 1 story store-cage with Evie, and he isn't moving around too much (don't want him to hurt his foot) . Stood up for a craisen this AM.
How do I protect the quick from infection? I've never seen anything like this.
I've got the betadine for disinfection.
Is there a way to keep the quick safe from injury and infection? Stupid question, but can I coat it with something?
He rips foot bandages off, and anything sticky rips out his rexy fur.
Thanks for reading my question
