I am thinking of setting him up in a small cage with t-shirts on the bottom and no perches. He is so tired. I think he is struggling to rest.

He got bitten right at the base of the nail on one toe by Jamie on 6/13. The tapping started about a week ago, just slightly and got really bad yesterday.

Debbie,
I hope Mojo is feeling better soon.
You got him to the vet pretty quickly
so maybe the meds will kick in and he will
be all better. :hug8: to you and Mojo.

:( Watching that second video makes me want to cry, poor baby.

I hope he's better soon, and that the cream and Metacam relieves the pain. :hug8:

I put him to bed in a small cage with a towel on the bottom (one without terrycloth). He is on the bottom leaning to one side. The foot is hot and he winces when you touch it. :(

Did they give him any antibiotics?
I would be nervous its infected. When its hot, doesn't that mean infection?

If it is hot I would think it is an infection too. :hug8:

I am concerned too. But Dr. B checked it close. No oozing, no redness or swelling. UGH

Was it hot when he was at the vet?
Does he have a pager or anything? An answering service?

He'll answer if I call. I just know what he'll say. That he saw it today and saw nothing that made him think it was infected.

This is just such a helpless feeling. I am not used to my babies being sick. :(

Does it look like it is swelling at all now? It could be hot from swelling also.

I didn't see any swelling. It's really weird.

I will post in the morning. In the meantime, healing thoughts to my baby, please!
