 Update- 2nd and 3rd vet say no operation :)
Ok so the tip of his ear came off cleanly today. The good news. No bleeding, no crying and he doesnt look any different with the tip missing since his hair still stands up there. We were surprised at how cleanly it came off. So were going to keep an eye out for any irritation but its been an hour and no discomfort.
For those who think the rubber band mishap is suspect. I guess I would think the same if I heard the story/ I also know posting on a message board would draw inferences of us being neglectfull and even abusive. I assure you all thats not even close to being the case. We love our little Nico a lot.
I wanted to hear what others opinions were. I listened to a lot of opinions and in the end listened to my gut, went on a leap of faith that the ear wouldnt have to be cut.
The good news is we likely averted a great deal of discomfort for our little boy and although we need to keep an eye on him, we have a happy ending.. Thanks again.. |
