Posie update. Week 3.
Sorry it's been a while since an update. Between work, kids, animals and vet visits it doesn't leave much time for updates. Bit of good and bad news.
Good news: She's putting weight on her leg and not buckling it like she was. The smaller torn tendon has adhered to another and is healing. The partially torn flexor tendon still needs the support of a bandage to keep it from tearing further until it has healed. She's even trotted normally for a few steps so that's good! Shes still on stall rest (and Serenity is not a fan of it) until it heals because she will want to have zoomies. The area with exposed bone has completely covered over and healing well.
Bad news: Due to the severity of the cuts on her leg, there is alot of exposed flesh, dead skin and bleeding. This is not the area with the deepest cut to the bone originally, but the lower end where the wire was wrapped around her leg. Circulation had been cut for long enough to cause tissue to die even though there were no cuts through the skin. It's dying. It's a mess. It's not pretty. So we are definitely concerned. Our vet had given us 2 different creams and ointments for each area and we cover it with several bandages. One ointment has penicillin in it.
Our vet is still hopeful for a full recovery, but unfortunately her leg will be scarred for life and she will need ALOT of care for the next few weeks.
We aren't out of the woods. There is still alot at stake. Alot of vet care, alot of bandages, wraps and non stick guaze to buy. And always the possibility of returning to PEI if need be. I'm posting photos from each of our bandage changes in the comments as they are graphic.
We are still looking for help via our Go Fund Me or directly to me, Amanda Stevens, to [email protected].
