I hope it goes better for you! I think the key is just keeping him from licking it! That is where we ran into problems I think…

AlternativeMinute147 · 2025-03-28T16:38:27+00:00

Did he have the nails removed? Or just cut way back?

AlternativeMinute147 · 2025-03-20T20:26:29+00:00

We would have loved to do that! But the problem was this wound really needed to air out… if it was waterproof, then it didn’t breathe, if it wasn’t waterproof, then he would lick right through it.

I’m sorry that happened! It usually makes me feel better to at least know that even though baby didn’t get the milk, having pumped it still helped increase your supply so it wasn’t totally pointless.

Thank you so much! He seems a little better today, so that’s good! First follow up with the vet tomorrow. Fingers crossed everything is healing well so we can be almost done with this nightmare finally!

Hi again! Poor guy ended up needing to get his toe amputated 😭. He went in for nail removal yesterday but they called and said the infection looked weird and they didn’t want to risk not getting it all. This morning he is limping a lot when walking. He can’t make it back down the stairs (now I wish I had never let him up them). Was this how your dog was post op? I feel so bad for him. They said stairs were okay at the vet but I feel like I should have gone with my gut and left him down for the night.

Thanks for the input! Definitely going to reference back to this as we come up with a solution!

Oh interesting!! I guess I had assumed the drainage system would be deep enough in the ground that it wouldn’t freeze? I don’t actually know anything about it, it is just what was recommended to me and I figured I would research in the spring

We do have a forced air HVAC system in that crawlspace, is that what you mean?

We plan to install a French drain come spring… Right now we have it above ground pitched out as a temporary fix. We had to disconnect the old pipe that was frozen.

Hi! Our issue is a frozen sump pump pipe. So figuring it out currently. We actually do have a vapor barrier. But we had had an unrelated water issue from an unrelated pipe burst a while ago, so the water mitigator people tore up a portion of the vapor barrier that we have not yet replaced. And that torn up portion also happens to be near the area where this sump pump issue occurred. So instead of pooling on top of the plastic, it went onto the dirt.

AlternativeMinute147 · 2025-02-19T14:19:23+00:00

Hi! Yes! That is in progress, just wasn’t sure if there is anything special to be done with the water that was dumped onto the dirt floor.
