Peter,

Unfortunately I see what you are descibing quite a bit with imported uros. What happens is that some sort of trauma/internal damage (bruise, bump) occurs coupled with inadequate temperatures and creates a blood clot. It may not be too late to see if you can remmedy it. Use a steaming hot wash cloth as a pack on the affected arm for 20 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. If the fingers are black, then chances are they are already dead and amputation may be the only alternative.



That is really lousy that the people who sold her to you are being like this. There are ways of dealing with this situation. You can contact me privately if you would like more information.

Wendy
