Neuropathy help?
This is my precious sweet Bubble girl! Bubbles is around 14 years old, I adopted her 7 years ago. She’s healthy, but has had a history of kidney infection since before we adopted her. Of course we weren’t told this, so we didn’t find out until a couple months into having her when we noticed she was picking at her feet. Don’t worry, her kidney issues have been resolved for years now (knock on wood), but unfortunately the infections have left her with a tingling or numb sensation in her feet. This drives her nuts and causes her to pick at them, sometimes to the point she draws blood. Her feet are probably a touch bit weaker than the average birds, as she has scarring on the bottom of her wrist/ankle portion since before we’ve had her (which is actually how we found out about her having these issues far before we got her). Beyond that, her quality of life doesn’t seem to be impacted much at all, but we cannot get her to quit picking at her feet. Neuropathy can’t be reversed either. Does anyone have any suggestions for anything we can do for her?
