I'm not sure what to tell you about treating the wound, but you may want to keep in mind that locking one up away from the herd will cause them stress and could make things worse; I understand wanting to monitor her, but if she is stressed out being locked up, it won't help her condition, she may lose her cud and get sick (my husband calls it 'pen sickness') just from being locked up.
My neighbor had a horse get a bad wound and the vet gave (sold!) him some kind of salve that did something for the proud flesh and formed a protective layer over it - - I don't know what the name of it was, though. You're probably going to be forced to clean it out and get topical antibiotics of some sort in it. You can use penicillin and 'shoot' it out of a syringe (no needle) topically on the wound, too. Hopefully someone else will have some better advice on treating the wound for you . .. good luck Onalee In a message dated 11/24/2004 5:45:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I locked her in a stall in the barn so I could monitor her, but she escaped. =============================================== This message is from the Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
