Poor Star. On Thursday the 14th, I discovered that Star had torn her nail on her right front dew claw. It was pretty bad. I thought I could wrap it so it could heal, but she wouldn't let me touch her foot.
I called Dr. Brown and she said to bring her right in. Star ended up in surgery so that Dr. Brown could remove the nail. She had completely torn it and it was just dangling. Dr. Brown had to cut into her dew thinging to remove the nail. So Star's leg was bandaged. I had to keep Star fairly quiet, make sure she didn't get her bandage wet, and make sure she didn't try to tear the bandage off. The first two orders were easy, but she sure frustrated me in keeping her from tearing her bandage off. I ended up wrapping duct tape around the bandages and she even managed to chew the duct tape.
Finally I was able to remove the bandage yesterday (Monday) and she is a lot happier, but I have to keep her from licking her "owie."
