Pedigree Query

Have a horse that came in to be broke that has stuck her leg through a corral fence and now has proudflesh from her kock to her ankle in front approx 3" wide and 14" long. Leg is swollen to twice it's normal size but she is not sore. owner neglected it but said to do what i can to fix her while I break her! Any suggestions?

I've used a product called Wonder Dust with good success.

Adolphs meat tenderized and a bit of Nolvasan ( the blue stuff in the white jar) mix together...the meat tenderizer will break down the proud flesh! Works great!

Equaide works exceptionaly well with quick results.

This product is getting rave reviews in my neck of the woods.

A product called caustic powder has wonderful results - much, much, much stronger than wonder dust, and with a situation like you have, will be much more effective. I can only get it through my vet though.

Have vet the debride it and then bandage tightly using a silicon support, some vets even will cast it....I had one mare who we couldnt get under control and eventually put her down and a mare this spring who went to cornell and had it removed and then was in a silicon gel wrap for about 2 months..changed the bandaging every 5-6 days, kpt tightly wrapped and looks great now. If you bandage it only lightly it will grow. Good luck...proud flesh is a real pain to deal with

I would also be concerned with the fact that you said the leg is 2x its size she may alos have an intercellular infection. I would get her on some antibiotics aswell as treating the proud flesh.

yep me too, wonderful stuff.

a friend of ours uses raw honey she swears by it.

We've had the absolute best results with Granulex. Stuff works wonders on proud flesh.

I also like Granulex, and the spray can makes it possible to get it on the upside down spots.
