My mare had a cut on her fetlock that I was doctoring and it was healing nicely. We went out of town for 6 days and left my sister-in-law doctoring/feeding while we were gone, When I got back, it had apparently turned into proud flesh and she didn't know anything about that and just doctored it every day like she was told. If I had known, we could have changed the routine to treat for proud flesh. Anyway, it got ahead of us and should have been treated differently while we were away but wasn't. She has a good size lump where the cut was. It doesn't appear to cause her any pain, but I just hate that!!! I don't suppose there's anything to be done about the lump??

Certified Snake Wrangler Posts: 1672 Location: North MS	The underwoods treatment actually caused the exterior to heal over before the interior with mine. Trapped infection inside. 1st injury May 2013 and it healed over mostly by July. Re-erupted in December before Christmas. My second go round I couldn't take off for a special vet trip plus it happened right on top of christmas and the local vets vacations. So I made this extremely high tech, top secret ointment. 1 tube preparation H, 1 tube antibiotic ointment, and meat tenderizer. Then even more high techly blended using..... a hairdryer. I probably could have used microwave or stove top, but that was the tool I had at the time. I did make it to the vet the week after christmas and the vet said to keep on doing what I was doing. I ended up having x-rays taken of his gaskin to check for a bone chip. Thankfully there wasn't one, but that is how we found out it was only an infection issue.
