Hi Rochelle, My ferret Jack had a piece of plexiglass fall on his paw & it broke 4 out of 5 toes on his front right paw! He was in a cast (not hardened) for almost two weeks (yep, he kept it on) then he was in two more casts for a few days each (those came off by his effort LOL) then he was healed enough to go without a cast. You can see the cast in these two pics: http://www.geocities.com/neenerbean_78/jackcast.jpg & http://www.geocities.com/neenerbean_78/jackpool.jpg and you can check out the plexiglass that fell on his foot (along with other ferret room pics) at http://www.geocities.com/neenerbean_78/room.html He still has bone callouses on the top of his paw, and his toes don't line up quite right, but otherwise he's the same little guy I've known & loved from day one ;o) Let me know if you have any questions! *dooks* Amy & the brat pack! ===== Visit Miya, Nina, Rascal, Jack, Joey, and Sarah at their website! http://www.geocities.com/neenerbean_78 Don't just buy a ferret!
