Does anyone have any experience of a small wound on the lower leg which seems to be developing proud flesh?
When Talin was kicked (his own stupid fault BTW!) 3 weeks ago he had a fairly minor cut and quite a bit of swelling. On my vets instruction I kept the wound clean, cold hosed the leg and left him out. After a few days the wound had scabbed over so I then left it alone. I noticed though that at the top the scab seemed to be really thick. Well in the last couple of days the lower part of the scab came off and the skin is healed underneath, but the top think bit came off today and there's a bulge of proud flesh under it which looks all red and raw.
Anyone know what I should do? a quick google search just brings up stuff about surgery which seems a bit extreme. Am I better off getting the vet now or leaving it and seeing if it heals?
