Should I do anything about a smelly splint??

[EachandEveryone]

The dressing has been on her leg for two weeks one more week to go thank god. It’s not bothered her too much. She has a go when I take her collar off so she can wash herself. There is a small bald patch at the top of the dressing. Not broken down. Trouble is that it smells. I thought she had wind as she’s bee
Living off Gourmet which she’s never had before and which she seems to be addicted to. Is it that bad for her she’s housebound so I’m giving her what she wants. I’ve. put my nose to the dressing and it does pong I’m scared there’s a sore there but I can’t see anything and it’s all intact. I’m also scared that if I go back to the vets she will redress it and add more weeks to it which is what happened when she the pot fell off.

Could it be just generally using the litter tray do you think?

Maybe for just one day - until you've readjusted?

[EachandEveryone]

Still got a bloody temperature!!! Her pad has scabbed over looks clean. The night before as well.

[cozietoesie]

Agitate it.

[EachandEveryone]

I will do when shes asleep. Shes fine in herself but the vet said if it doesnt clear up she will need a biopsy. Bloody hell.

[cozietoesie]

Has she peed elsewhere?

[cozietoesie]

I mean - have you checked?

[EachandEveryone]

No I mean the pawpaw not a Tena is that what you mean? I don’t know the right terminology still! —and I’m a nurse—

[EachandEveryone]

[EachandEveryone]

[thecatneuterer]

[EachandEveryone]

They are going to pull the drain out cm by cm and I will be going home with a catheter in for 15 days. I shall look forward to that. The sitter said they were fine yesterday and she will take the temperature tonight.

[YetAnotherSpartacus]
