ivon Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 The vet ran a complete senior panel, all his values look good, I doubt Alabama rot is to blame, he has been off the track for nearly 10 years. Two of the holes he probably just ran into a twig and they are healing fine, the one of concern is now finally granulating and looking better, she still thinks spider bite or snake. Yikes! In any case, she wants to continue to see him daily, clean the wound and re-bandage over the weekend, to save me the evet fees, she kindly offered to meet me at her office Saturday and Sunday. He is feeling better for sure, he would/could barely move the first few days and is now back to his old bouncy self.

ivon Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 I did today's bandage change by myself, he flinched a bit when I cleaned his wounds, but did fine, I think I did ok, my main concern was wrapping the vet wrap too tight, which is easy to do. But I think it's all good...The vet can judge me tomorrow... Quote Ivon, Spud, Karma & Sasha Missing Darla (05-22-96 03-01-2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick to not getting the vetwrap to tight is to pull the length you need out and then roll it back on the roll loosely. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivon Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well, the vet said I did a good job, and maybe by Friday he can have surgery to suture the skin back together. Manuka honey came in today, does anyone think my vet would be offended if I gave it to her to try? She is putting an anti-biotic paste on the wounds, so for all I know that may be doing the trick...She does his bandage changes, except on Sunday, mainly because it involves scraping at the tissue to make it bleed, she says that makes it granulate better. I believe it, but there is no way I can do that.... Quote Ivon, Spud, Karma & Sasha Missing Darla (05-22-96 03-01-2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
