A problem with Tripods little stump. Advice please

Hi all,

last week I changed Tripods carpet for slate as a substrate and today I have noticed that the edge of the stump is looking a bit grazed, is the slate too rough and should I put the carpet tiles back in. I have some F10 ointment but I think the chances of putting any on without stressing her out is practically impossible as s/he is still very skittish.

The little graze.


S/he does walk on that side of the stump.


Any advice please.

Many thanks.

Bless her !!! xx If you are worried that the slate is too rough then change onto paper towl or kitchen roll! Carpet wouldnt be great as it holds bacteria and it can never really be cleaned properly! just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse then you may need to see the vet x

awww so cute!
yep, I think you should change to paper towels, too

Thanks both, the slate is no more poor little Tripod no wonder s/he's been looking so sad.

Or you can put a little rubber thimble on her stub as a boot... Just kidding of course. Imagine how silly it would look, too! Glad to hear she's doing better on the paper towel than the slate!

Aaaaaw I love her little stump! I had a Chihuahua with a front leg that was a stump. It kind of looked like a chicken wing, it was adorable. Lol

Thanks for the replies, I just hope it heals up nicely now.

I'm sure it will, she's in good hands :P

Thank you Jessica I love that little baby.
