Hurt Toe...??

[lrjakes]

Mo is a 2 month old female that i have raised since less than a week. Last week she managed to get one of her toes pinched in the cage. I wasnt there when it happened but a friend got her out and shortly after i noticed that it was swollen. It is just the toe, not the whole foot.

Now it has been 2 weeks and still swollen and she doesnt use it. (she will use the foot, but cannot move the toe) Is there something I can do as far as keeping weight off it to let it heal?
Since the skin isnt broken, is there any chance of infection where she would ned anti biotic? Vet is not really an option here.

Thanks!

No need for antibiotic if the skin isn't broken, and chanches she would lick it off anyway...sounds like you just have to wait and see what happens with the toe. Confine her to a smaller cage or container to keep her from moving around or falling since her toe is injured.
You can soak her feet in warm salt water if it makes you feel better!!!:peace
