Hi! First of all, I love Your blog, it is really helpful!
My whumpee is fidgeting when he sleeps. He broke his ribs in battle and my question is; should his ribs be bandaged? I know this is not recommended, but would it be necessary if the whumpee moved too much while sleeping? Is it better to immobilize his broken ribs?
Thank You in advance!🐥💜💛
No, bandaging them won’t help. He ought to be sleeping in a semi-upright position for the first few nights after the injury, braced with pillows to lessen the pain of movement. Very serious rib fractures, such as those that make breathing difficult, may require surgery. In some cases, this may involve using plates and screws to stabilize the ribs while they heal.
