VET! NOW!
Need antibiotics to prevent infection, cleaned out, and an e-collar to stop further mutilation because once it starts really healing it will itch!(she will chew more). Second, how is there no blood? When my glider(6 weeks OOP at the time) had a very similar experience there was a shriveled up toe, but after messing with that and just barely touching it there was blood. Was there any on the pouch? was there any bone? anywhere? Unless Im missing something I dont see how that's possible. How far up is it chewed? Mine had just a toe missing after the amputative surgery and had he not had sutures/glue he would've bled to death in that few minutes we were in surgery. For a whole foot means bigger chance of bleeding to death. I dont know how it could've just scabbed over and stopped bleeding without leaving a trace of blood(again, I may have read this wrong). Was there a thread around the end cutting off the circulation, so as to prevent massive bleeding? If that was the case where is the bone? Im so full of questions right now I better end this post or I'll lose you in my thoughts..
Here is the link to the story on my glider and his similar experience, Read this!
