0361_DaLahFoot

DaLah's left front foot has abscesses from her putting more weight than normal on it to compensate for her right front dislocated elbow. You see where the vet has cut away her toe nail to get to the abscessed region and clean it out. Her nail should grow back. Other parts of her foot were raw as well. The vet cleans the wounds twice a day and puts antibiotic ointment and tumeric in the wounds then protects them with a bandage made of pee pads taped together, then finally covers it all with a cloth elephant foot bag and tape. I helped by cleaning the cloth bags for reuse when possible.
