Well, nothing is working to stop him knocking it or help it heal, it's actually worse at the moment and he knocks it daily! After a wee chat with El vetto who saw him the other day (dear of him was on call all weekend and said to ring if I was worried at all) the consensus is that it started as a bot sore, but it's just overgranulating and it has raised to such a point where healing is just not truly viable because of where it is and how exposed to being knocked. Next week we will be discussing an appointment for removing all the proud flesh so we can try and start from scratch.
We tried to give it one last try, hoping that if it healed enough and the skin went hard that would be ok, but it's just an epic fail every day . It thankfully still doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest but it does look sore at the moment, he is such a brave boy letting me bathe it clean every day.
Has anyone had proud flesh removed, what is the process and how much will I be looking at (any ideas). I'm assuming he will have to be sedated I'm certain he will hate them faffing with his face like that, then it's a haul to get it healed again... Failing that if anyone has a bullet? Xx
Oh but good news, I found a fab sharer for him, she came and hacked him out today, she rides really really nicely, she seems a confident but level headed rider with good seat and nice quiet hands, and the best bit... It was love at first sight
