    Default NR with sores

    my little NR has some sores and skin breakdown on her little knees… she’s partially paralyzed from the waist down… i say partially because she does move her legs and uses her feet to a degree, but not much… she mostly uses her upper body… the problem is that her little knees either knock together or get cut up on the sides of the cage or whatever…. is there any way to prevent this?? i was thinking of putting bandages on her, but when i tried that, they fell off quickly… what about doll pants??? like something to protect her little legs…. she also has incontinence issues, so her little legs stay wet… i’ve ordered her some little diapers from a person on etsy who makes them for pigmy marmosetts… i figured they were worth a try.. but what can i do about her little legs?? these pix are pre-bath… i bathe her usually at least once a day to keep her from getting infections….

    Look up Chickenleg's Scooter. He wears a skute around his waist.

    A skute has given Scooter and the other paras mobility they might not have without it. PM and I can help.
