Wrapping a foot
Just a quick update --
Rosa's nail did fall off under the skin. She never went on oral antibiotics, but we have continued to soak daily to keep infection away from the foot. The day before the nail came off her foot swelled terribly -- the entire foot was swollen instead of just the one toe. But by the next morning, the nail was missing and the swelling came on down.
The toe itself is still rounder than the others, but not hot to the touch. Vet says to keep up the soaks until the nail emerges again.
Rosa is not very pleased by all the attention. She suffers through the soaking as only a skittish pig can, by freezing the entire time. Poor thing.
