Poor Barn2...Clare bit him again...

Last night, when Aunty Ju was fixing Ariel's enclosure, one of the metal barriers collapsed and hit Clare. Clare thought Barn2 who was next to her had attacked her...so she bit him. I rushed from the car to find their Aunty Ju carrying Clare's back end and trying to disengage her from Barn2. Clare's jaws were firmly clamped on his upper leg and she wasnt about to let go.

I prised open Clare's jaws to release him. She was hastily carried to the back of the house while I tended to the very miserable looking Barn2. Found that he had a very small bleeding wound on his upper leg. We put anticeptic wash etc. and cream on the wound, wrapped it along with his paw (which had an ulcer that he had been licking for the past few days) . We topped it off with a sock to make sure he couldnt pull the bandages off that easily. Barn2 wasnt too pleased.

Clare did have a tiny nick under her chin- perhaps where Barn2 had snapped at her. She received some first aid and was happily asleep leaving Barn2 to fuss over his foot. The boy milked all the sympathy he could get for a day...limping and looking terribly sad.

Am glad to report that by this evening, he is his usual self. No limp. PTL.
