Thank you to everyone who is asking about how Star is doing following his injury last week.

He’s finished his course of antibiotics now and is sound walking about. The wound is looking great and starting to granulate. Sutures out next week.

I’ve chosen to change to a different type of wound dressing as the Manila honey was causing the dressing to stick to the wound which was creating an issue when removing the dressing.

The stuck dressing was hard to get off and was painful for Star and was pulling the wound and making it bleed. Fingers crossed better luck with new dressing.

Laser has been carried out on this wound to help with healing.

Knowledge is power!!! And anyone who knows me will know how much I love wound management!
