Rickiesmom Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) A friend who is not on this board has a pup who had surgery on the hip to remove a tumour about a week ago. The stitches pulled out (darn this thin skin) and were replaced. At this point the stitches are mostly holding except in the middle, and the surgeon doesn't want to touch it. The dog has been put on antibiotics and the wound has been cleaned carefully by the vet for the last 2 days. I tried searching this forum just now for the words granulation and granulex (which I think is a product) but got an error message each time. If any of you has had a good experience with products that help granulation, would you please post or PM me? Thank you!

Bevd Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The thing we've tried and had great success with is colloidal silver. We got it from our vet but you can also get it from health food shops etc. We got a liquid which came with a dropper (like rescue remedy does) and we had to drop a few drops onto the wound every day. The wound healed within about 5 days. (It was a fair sized wound from hip surgery on one of our mutts and he kept taking the stitches out) Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Guest Tenderhearts Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Granulex is what we use here. If you have any vets that deal with large animals, they may carry it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytlady94 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 What I have used after surgery and with a large open wound is Facilitator.

BrGreyhndz Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Granulex is incredible- its really helped us heal up a number of nasty wounds. I also use emt gel with it. We did a great job on a nasty neck tear at Dewey this year. Friend's dog came with a wound and within the week of twice daily cleanings it was noticeably smaller and within two weeks was pretty much gone.
