Dani's leg seems way better to me today than it seems it should from the last bandage change. Obviously, this is the right direction and I'm so pleased that the wound is not only closing without too much goo and granulation tissue, but that it is closing so cleanly. It's not ragged and horrifying anymore. It's just a big, sticky scab that looks like it's healing just fine. I'm just so pleased.
(Please ignore the boat in the first picture. So White trash...)
Her leg is so light colored in these pictures because I was picking away at that loose hair that has been stuck in there for awhile now. I ended up using a rubber brush with soft, nubbly things to get alot of that old hair off and it worked up some dust too.
I think it felt really good to her to get scratched there. She hasn't had bandages off for longer than it takes to change them since February.
When it heals a bit more, and I don't feel like I would risk infection, she's going to get a bath. It would probably be fine now, but I've had horses that have taken a wrong turn with leg injuries for less reason than getting water and dirt in it, so I'm being cautious. Soon though. Very soon.
