Black toe help!!!!
Posted: Mon May 22, 2017 7:23 pm
So first off a bit of back story.
I had received my BTS 8 months ago as a rescue. The previous owners were out of town a lot and she was neglected and under weight.
After a first few rocky months I got her weight up and she's become a wonderful snuggle bug.
I pay close attention to her sheds as I am aware of gloving and toe loss. I never saw any problems with bad sheds or build up so I'm baffled as to why this toe has turned black and is separating from her foot. She hasn't changed her eating habits or temperament.
So, do I just let it run corse? Is antibiotic ointment ok to protect the open spot? I'm afraid of infection setting in. Never had to deal with toe loss before.
