216. Going down the Natural Route...

Today i was a bit worried about turning Spice out in the rain and the risking the nice scab that has formed over the wound getting moist, falling off and leaving the wound open to infection but since i've decided to go down the 'au natural' route i thought i might as well carry it through. I should say that i am still giving her antibiotics though (just until i am sure the wound has completely healed) so the risk of re-infection is minimum. I don't think the boney protrusion is looking as bad as it was last week but seeing it on a daily basis makes it a bit difficult to tell...one thing's for sure both the swelling and wound on the hock have improved dramatically and in trot Spice more or less looks sound. I am eagerly awaiting the day for when the scab that has formed starts to peal off on it's own accord and reveal new fresh skin and hair.
