203. Feeling as though i'm on a merry-go-land.

Arghhh...why is it that one minute Spices wound looks better and the next it looks worse. I honestly feel as though i'm going round in circles at the moment. I arrived this evening to find that it was more swollen than it was this morning...does this mean the infection has come back or is it just inflamed? There was hardly any discharge but the wound itself looked worse than it did this morning. So i decided to apply a dry poultice and not spray any more purple spray on it as it seems as though the purple spray may have aggravated the wound more than helped it!

I chose not to apply another wet poultice because the wound is still open and fleshy and is therefore still able to drain so i figured that as long as its draining it shouldn't need a wet poultice however, as always i will find out tomorrow if i was right.

It's so frustrating because it's such a small cut but due to the place (right on the hock joint) just doesn't seem to be healing :(

If it's no better by monday then i will definitely call the vet out.
