(We suspect a Brown Recluse from the amount of tissue damage and the necrosing skin.)
Here's a pic of the suspect
These photos are very graphic & pretty disgusting.
If you have a weak stomach...move on. *L* :o)
Photo approx. 9 days after bite was inflicted & before cleaning it that morning.
Same day but after I cleaned it. I don't know which looks worse. ICK
Next Day After the Vet removed all the rotted tissue. And it was rotten!
Here's where we are at Week 3:
She still does have some heat & swelling every so often.
I took these in the morning after cleaning it.
Week, 5 . The Tissue is Starting to fill in now and though its still red, it is shrinking in size, but getting puffy. Proud Flesh?.
Week 6: It was indeed the start of Proud Flesh. This pic isn't so hot & I hope to snap a new one before the weekend's out. This is after using the "Prouds Off" ointment a couple times...and it has had a dramatic change for the better, but not quite this good. Just a very dark pic. :o(
Pics from this Morning (8/19). The green stuff is the "Prouds Off" ointment. I cleanse it as best I can, but I wouldn't want that scrubbed...would you?

If you're Interested, I will keep posting Updates every couple weeks, so book mark us. :o) Another sign she's on her way. She is eating better (FINALLY!) and she's resumed her morning gallops around her paddock. *L*
You can't keep a 4 year old Thoroughbred down for long!
