At about 5:30 this morning one of our ferrets climbed on top of his cage and as he was backing down got his nail caught in something and it was pulled out. To stop the bleeding we held him and applied alittle ice and now he is sleeping and his paw is dry. My question: do we have to worry about infection? Is it possible for the injury to again open and bleeding start again? Is there anything more to do? I'd appreciate it if you have comments to me that after you post to the list, you would email me directly so we may take the appropriate action. Thank you so much, Laura [Posted in FML issue 3226]
