Bleeding Sore Hock.

At the moment my foster bun Noel is have treatment to a VERY Sore Hock along several other problems, the worst Christabel has seen. In fact its his whole heal which is red sore, with a crack in it too.

:cry::cry::cry:

It was getting better with right padding, thanks to my mum and Flammazine.

But when i went out this morning to check on the chap his bandage had come off and the hock had started bleeding a little, broken skin.

I have re-bandaged it, but i wasnt to sure if i can still apply Flammazine on broken skin? Or should i apply something else first before applying the Flammazine??

Would consult my Vet, but she dosent open till Two today.

If he's been running around with an open sore I'd use a weak salt water solution to clean it first and then put the cream on. I use Dermasol, and this is ok to put on open sores but I have no experience of Flammazine I'm afraid, I would have thought it would be ok, but someone who knows better will be able to advise you.
