Leg Laceration-Updated Pictures 10/2/2009
The mare we just got in today has a leg injury that has been on and off with healing for a while now. Like over a year! It doesn't bother her AT ALL! She is not lame on it nor does it hinder her range of motion. When our foal is born I will have the vet look at it too but I wanted some input at what I might be able to use to help this heal up and have the sking start to actually grow back! Here is a picture just off the trailer before being cleaned up and bandaged.

The original injury was that she peeled the skin all the way to the bone from the hock to the ankle and that the flap of skin was dragging on the ground when it happened. So she does still have that swelling/scar tissue there. I don't ever expect to get the leg perfect. She was actually in a cast during the original injury for about 30 days I guess. I am going to leave it wrapped at least until tomorrow and then will probably take it off and start medicating it.

Here are some pics from today. After a almost week of having Wonder Dust used. This was after a heavy cleaning. Not sure if it is looking better or not. I know only a few days won't tell me much but I am one for wishfull thinking! lol

This is by far the best medicine I have ever used. Healing time cut in half. Last edited by snickers : 05-21-2009 at 07:24 PM. |

These pics were done with my cell phone so not the greatest but we have some new skin growing around the edges. The cut is looking MUCH better in person. Pics don't do it justice.

Well I broke down and ordered Underwoods this weekend. It was shipped out on Monday so hopefully it will be here today or tomorrow. Then she will get a nice IN DEPTH cleaning of the leg and Underwoods started. I will take progress report pics for you all as well.

I feel terrible as GiGi's leg seems to be swelling more than when I first got her. Probably because she is in the stall half of the day instead of outside 24/7. I just got my underwoods ointment in the mail so I put it on right away. Here is a picture from before application. I will take another pic probably Monday to see if there is progress being made.....Then after healed we will start the leg sweats....
