seeking advice
i have an indoor/outdoor orange boy who’s about 2.5 years old. he goes outside because he demands it and it absolutely miserable and makes everyone in the house miserable if he can’t go out. all of a sudden, he’s started to get into something every day that scratches his nose to the point where it just keeps growing because it can’t heal. i kept him in for a week so it could fully heal, which was challenging but we managed, and i just let him out again and he got another scratch.
i tried following him to see what he’s doing or where he’s going that’s causing the scratches but when i’m around he mostly just pays attention to me and it’s hot out and i feel like it could take hours to actually figure it out, which still seems pretty unlikely.
what other options do i have outside of just never letting him out again or just leaving an open wound on his nose?
help! has anyone dealt with anything like this before? is there anything i can get that can maybe protect his nose from getting scratched over and over again?
