I Don't Brag Posts: 6960	mruggles - 2015-11-19 4:06 PM Im just gonna have to flatout disagree with scraping it off.....i have dealt with some very very bad wounds and i have never ever done that.....but i also dont hydro bad wounds. ...but thats just me...M If you look more closely (if this in reference to my post) I don't scrape it until it well in to the healing process...I guess I didn't actually say when it begins to build excessive proud flesh....my bad. Also regarding the Equiflex sleeve. I liked mine for a suspensory but in this case, I would NOT use one. They tend to fall down a bit and that might pull the flap down and not help it heal.

Oh ok... what about using the sleeve once it has significantly healed just as extra protection?

I still have never scraped or scrubbed a wound til it bleeds....but i have never had to deal with proud flesh either so maybe thats the difference......M

Toastest with the Mostest Posts: 5712 Location: That part of Texas	Sending prayers and best wishes for healing. I'm dealing with a huge shoulder injury on one of my mares right now (is it in the water? ugh!) and the one thing I can pass along is my vet said to wait to use Wonderdust or any product that contains copper sulfate until the wound is healing (not use at the outset) because the copper sulfate can delay the healing process. She said it was sent to vets as a caution to pass along from some study done here lately. I've used that for years and haven't had a problem but if you notice delayed healing, it may be a cause for it so look at what's in whatever product you are using.

I will put the Wonder Dust away for a while! :)
