UNDERSTANDING PROUD FLESH ✍️

Wounds on the bodies and limbs of our equine companions are exceptionally common. In particular, wounds on lower limbs can be especially difficult to manage. There is little extra skin in these areas, making large wounds difficult to close via suturing.

In addition, wounds on the lower legs are contaminated easily with bacteria since they are closer to the ground, bedding, and manure. The constant movement of an animal's legs as it walks, turns, and bears weight can also greatly impair healing, especially if the wound occurs over a joint. All of these factors can often halt the normal progression of the healing process and result in a chronic wound.

Persistent inflammation, along with infection, is a major contributor to exuberant granulation tissue (or proud flesh) formation in a wound. Proud flesh is not conducive to wound healing as it prevents the wound from epithelializing (the process of the skin cells covering the wound), and sometimes it can become so large that it appears to be a tumor, usually obliterating the original wound.

Prevention of proud flesh involves good wound management. For the best healing, wounds should be identified and treated quickly and properly — especially on the lower limbs. Consult your veterinarian about any wounds that appear deep or extensive, that lie over important structures (like joints and tendons), or that already show signs of proud flesh development. Rather than waste time and money in trials and errors that could delay your equid's healing, ask your veterinarian what products are best for your situation.

The Kuykendall family has been training border collies for decades, and that training has included instruction on everything from basic obedience to the highly specialized skill of herding away unwanted Canada geese for clients. In recognition of January as “National Train Your Dog Month”, the Kuykendall’s are stressing the importance of teaching your dog the basics. Learning how to sit: “Once your dog is in a sitting position, say ‘Sit’, then reward him with a treat, and show him affection. Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has mastered the command.” Learning how to come: “Do this by using a leash and collar as a training device whenever your dog leaves the house to get into the family car, or go for a walk. “I call them the “3 R’s”: Repeating things helps your dog learn, Rewarding your dog for good behavior over and over again, and Reinforcing the lesson at regular intervals means your dog won’t forget what he’s learned,” said Gwen.

So much mud!!! This girl has been limited in her turn out time but she got to let it rip this morning!!!

Happy Tuesday!! Stretching those mile long legs and working on her working cow horse skills 😉 this morning. Had to stop and see what the pig was eating as well. 🐷🐴

Your daily dose of intense cuteness... enjoy!!

Remember Ladybug? She was surrendered in June of 2016 and HERO has been caring for her since that time. When she arrived she was so thin and malnourished our veterinarian told us she didn't know whether or not we'd be able to save her. With lots of love and dedication from our volunteers she is now flourishing in her foster home. Ladybug has special dietary needs and HERO currently spends $175 per month to provide her with the feed our veterinarian has recommended. We also have vet and farrier expenses we have to pay. Won't you please consider a tax deductible donation towards her care? Or become a sponsor and make a monthly contribution to help defray her costs? Donations can be mailed to HERO, P.O. Box 11045, Winston Salem, NC 27116-1045. Online donations can be made thru our website at www.heroequinerescue.org
