Reply to Marie's Post: the cut is about one and a half inches long ,he is one year old .it looks like he maybe have caught it on a low lying tree limb.he is palomino.yes he has had a tetanus shot.so far we have cleaned it put some wonder dust on it and bandaged it everyday.it got alot of drainage.

Answer

Hi! I apologize for taking so long to get back to you, I had patients all day and just got home from my barn. If you are having a lot of drainage the wonder dust is not enough. Sounds like you should try this. Clean the area every day with water for several minutes from a hose to remove dust and loose hair. The clean with Betadine, see if you can gently depress any pus or fluid and let dry. Apply triple antibiotic cream and cover. Take sponge and apply fly spray with gentle pats around the area, but NOT on it. Should be well healed if not infection or foreign objects on in the site. If so, the water therapy will help with that, but try to check it carefully to make sure. If you have any other questions, please ask, I will help you in any way I can.
