geb0205 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 One of my little RIR's managed to trap her toe tonight, and is rather sore on it. It doesnt appear to have broken the skin, but its obviously bruised and scratched the scales over the top of the injury. She was walking on it, all be it with a limp, but was eating and drinking ok this afternoon after the accident. I've just been to shut them up, and she's all huddled over to the "good" side, obviously to protect the bad toe, but she looks really pale in her comb/wattles. Is she ok? what should I be doing? help!! I'll obviously be keeping a very close eye on her, and making sure that she gets food/water. Poor little Copper...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Oh dear, poor wee thing . Hope she perks up soon. Hopefully someone else will have some useful advice (have I read on here that Rescue Remedy helps - or is that just for shock ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geb0205 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yes, i would have thought rescue remedy would just be for shock, but she's all settled now and I'm inclined not to disturb her too much. I'm wondering if its just shock and obviously pain thats causing it? Oh, poor girl, I'm so upset for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Poor girl. Perhaps a spot of arnica might help. You can get it in cream form or in tiny pilules from somewhere like Holland and Barratt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 im sure she will be fine, keep an eye on the injury in case of any infection. Arnica or bathing it in a weak tea tree solution may aid its healing. I bet tomorrow she will be as right as rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
