They are not improving. They are not too red right now, and we are putting salt water on them at the minute. At the moment, they are on grass, which is not growing due to no rain, and the ground is like concrete cos of lack of rain, so her hocks are getting cut up and splitting. She still has her injury wound, which is healing well.
A bit of infection has started in one of the hocks (not the one with the injury). There is no broken skin at all in the infected hock. There is a tiny circle (about 2mm in diameter) of white under the skin, which I know is infection. But she's had a course of Baytril before, which got rid of the infection, but it has now returned about a month later. We are going to try pencilin next, and then flammazine cream. If this can't keep infection away, we may have to think about PTS, as it's no sort of life to keep having medication every few months. She hasn't had any fur growing on the hock since she started having it a year ago. Can it ever return?
