Goeie more. Ek deel graag die volgende met julle.
My perd Ajan het 24 Augustus sy voet in ñ kabel gesny. Nie te diep nie net skoon gemaak en salf op gesmeer. 28 Augustus het hy presies dieselfde gaan doen en hierdie keer was die wond baie diep. Ek het begin om die wond te bandage met Silbicor salf en gebulste kalk. Baie mooi begin groei. Toe besluit ek om Thermal mud te probeer nadat ek gesien het almal loop met ñ emmertjie modder by die stalle rond. Lang storie kort. Begin toe 18 September met die Thermal Mud 3x ñ dag en Vrydag 25 September was die wond by na toe gegroei. Ek kan dit nie glo nie. Van nou af Thermal mud ek alles.
No infection, no proud flesh.
Good morning, I would like to share the following with you.
My horse Ajan cut his foot in a cable on August 24th. Not too deep, just cleaned it and applied ointment. On August 28th he did exactly the same and this time the wound was very deep. I started bandaging the wound with Silbicor ointment and slaked lime. It started to grow very nicely… Then I decided to try Thermal Mud after I saw everyone walking around the stables with a bucket of mud. Long story short. Then on September 18th I started with the Thermal Mud 3x a day and by Friday September 25th the wound had grown. I can’t believe it. From now on I will Thermal Mud everything.
WHAT IS PROUD FLESH
Proud flesh, also known as exuberant granulation tissue, is an excessive growth of irregular, pink tissue that can form over a wound while it is healing. It is seen most often on the lower limbs of horses. This happens when the normal healing process becomes unbalanced, allowing the tissue to continue growing instead of stopping once the wound bed is filled. As a result, new skin cannot grow across the surface of the injury.
Although proud flesh does not contain nerve endings and is usually not painful for the horse, it can bleed easily and may slow down or complicate healing. In many cases, veterinary treatment is needed to trim or manage the excess tissue so the wound can close properly.
