OK, I've been reading all day on Guinea Lynx, and I have some questions. Please don't tell me to go to the vet, it's not an option. Long story.
1. Can I use this on the boars red, chapped feet? Is it safe? It's meant for dogs. I could let it absorb, then wipe it off. I can't get coconut oil til Thursday. Or is there something else I can use to moisturize their feet?
Ingredients
Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Panthenol (Vit. B5), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6), d-Biotin (Vit. H), and Niacinamide (Vit. B3), in a protective non-greasy moisturizing cream base. Suggested Use
Squeeze a 1/2" ribbon of Tender Foot on your finger or apply directly to the pad or elbow. Massage gently into your dog's foot pads and elbows. Use daily to moisturize and restore resiliency of dry, cracked, chapped or calloused skin and tissue.
2. Baytril. From what I read for bumblefoot, it's 10mg/kg twice per day. The boar weighs just under 1kg, so I'd be giving 10mg twice per day. Right?
3. I'm going to soak his bad foot. Should I try to work the scab off, or leave it alone?
4. I don't have mineral oil, either. Can I use extra virgin olive oil to try to get the smegma off? Am I supposed to try to get it all off, and down to clean skin, or is some residue of cecum normal?
5. I had bought acidophilus for my bunny after his surgery. The man at the store said when the capsules are opened and the powder sprinkled over food, the beneficial bacteria wouldn't make it through the stomach. Is there something better to use? I thought I had read something about a triple probiotic?
I appreciate all the help and support. I've now gone from angry and annoyed to worried sick. I can't think of anything else but trying to help the boys recover.
