*Rescue Buddy*
Here is Pencil who's delivered her 5 babies 12 days ago. She is a brilliant mum and her babies are thriving.
She was diagnosed with bumble foot in her front feet just before the babies were born and she was prescribed Baytril and Metacam. I was using F&M ointment as well. The left foot has improved but the right foot is very swollen and ulcerated underneath. I am cleaning it daily and applying manuka honey and it is drying up. We are back at the vets tomorrow. I fear she may need surgery but her babies still need their mum as they are all quite small. Also one of her nipples is sore and crusty so I have been cleaning that and applying F&M. So worried, she is such a lovely girl
