| This injury was three weeks old when it arrived at Step Ahead Farm. The pictures of the initial injury are courtesy of the owner. The owner had been treating the injury with caustic materials, that are supposed to be used to stop the overgrowth of granulation tissue, however, this injury did not have any granulation tissue. In this case, it would have been better to do nothing. This is typical of what happens when you put the wrong medication on a wound at the wrong time. The medication used was designed to deal with a problem that didn't exist. Treatment 9-5-2006 through 10-13-2006 |
