Broken foot? #1422735 09/12/20 05:43 PM 09/12/20 05:43 PM

What should we do? She keeps licking it and limping. Should I also feed her through a tube? I’m not sure 🤔 if she’s been eating since we were out of town for a day and didn’t really see her for almost 48 hours since she didn’t want to come out of her little hut. It’s our first glider. What should we do?

She will need pain meds and probably be put in a e-collar so she doesn't chew on herself. Please take a moment to sign up on GliderCENTRAL , that way you will have full use of the forum.

Even an emergency vet in the event you cannot get her to your regular vet. That thread must come off!! But she still need more medical attention to keep from having further trouble to that foot/leg.
