I went out yesterday to feed the chickens and the Silkies always meet me at their gate and Selena got her foot caught in the chicken wire and finally got loose. A bit later when I went out, I saw the blood. She had caught one of her toenails on it and totally ripped it out of the end of her toe. We ended up setting up a soak, tried to stop the bleeding with flour, and holding pressure. Finally, I held pressure on the tip instead of on the sides and it stopped bleeding. I then let it dry good and put antiseptic salve on it and let her go back outside. All in all it has been a scary week.
I'm off work this week because my hubby had to have an emergency stint put in and he's not doing "ANYTHING" for at least 5 days...
