These pictures are after about 3 weeks of stall rest.
I had been rewrapping every 3 days and doing some hydrotherapy each time then putting some antibiotic ointment on it. (vet's orders)
I've been letting it air out now that he is off stall rest.
Prior to these pictures I scrubbed it a bit to get the foreign stuff off the top and to let it ooze a little blood. Then, I sprayed on some aerosol antibacterial stuff that also keeps the flies at bay.
I would just wrap it but if the wrap is to stay on I have to wrap over the frog a little bit and he started to develop some thrush.
How's it looking? I'm scared of proud flesh but for now it is closing up pretty well. The indention is either the cleft that was there before still healing or from one day the wrap came off and the flies got to it, or a combination of both.
He doesn't limp at all on it (yay!)
