Wound Care For Horses
Proud flesh is an overgrowth of pink granulation tissue. Granulation tissue is what fills in damaged areas between soft tissue and over bones. Ideally, granulation tissue stops forming as the skin edges grow together to close the wound. However, generally, this tissue becomes exuberant, and you can have an overgrowth within days. Proud flesh bulges and continues growing about skin level. The wound will never heal, or grow hair when granulation tissue becomes exuberant. Newly formed, healthy skin will not form over the wound when proud flesh is present.
Causes Of Proud Flesh
There are countless causes of proud flesh, and that’s why it almost always occurs on lower limbs. Friction, movement, air, water, poor wound management, infection, sequestrum (a piece of dead bone tissue). The most common causes of proud flesh are using the wrong product, and mismanagement. Over 90% of wound care and proud flesh products damage tissue or delay healing.
How To Use PF Wonder Salve
PF Wonder Salve is a one-step solution which may be used from start to finish on proud flesh, and all other cuts, wounds, and sores. PF Wonder Salve is intended for cuts and wounds with, or without proud Flesh. It does not damage new, delicate tissue. Never apply PF Wonder Salve directly to exposed bone. For exposed bone, we recommend packing the bone with a thick sugar paste (not sugardine), made of plain sugar and saline. This will quickly generate healthy tissue over the bone. For best results, follow the directions that come with PF Wonder Salve.
We are so confident you will be thrilled with your purchase of PF Wonder Salve, we offer a30-day full refund if you are not completely satisfied. PF Wonder Salve is Veterinarian tested, and veterinarian approved! The list of veterinarians using PF Wonder Salve is growing. The reason for that is that PF Wonder Salve provides an outstanding cosmetic result. PF Wonder Salve not only smoothes away proud flesh but aids in flattening unsightly bumps and bulges commonly seen in horse wounds. The bumps result in scarring and bald areas. A blemish horse is not nearly as valuable as an unblemished horse.
Get Rid Of Proud Flesh
What it does: PF Wonder Salve smooths away proud flesh, also known as excessive tissue granulation, while aiding regeneration of healthy tissue. The solution is powerful, yet gentle, and will not harm healthy tissue. The salve encourages hair regrowth with no white hairs. PF Wonder Salve forms a protective coating over the area when left unbandaged. It repels flies and does not rub off in the grass or with light moisture. The salve stays put on the area until removed and allows the area to heal itself.
What it doesn’t do: PF Wonder Salve does not sting, burn, blister, scar, or cause discomfort. PF Wonder Salve also does not inflame or irritate the area.
If you are dealing with a non-healing wound, or injury involving exposed bone, we highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Bruce E. Lyle, DVM, of Aubrey Equine Clinic. Proud flesh is one of the most mismanaged, and misunderstood elements of wound healing in the equine world. With PF Wonder Salve, there is no need for surgical removal of proud flesh!
Schedule a consultation with renowned lameness expert, Dr. Bruce Lyle, DVM for a second opinion, X-ray review, or wound management advice.
Telfa pads are highly recommended. The pads keep the salve on area vs. absorbing into the cotton padding.
Gauze cling wrap gently holds cotton padding in place before applying self-adhering tape.
Lastly, self-adhering bandage tape provides strong, snug support.
Disposable diapers work well on foot/ankle areas, but cotton padding, shown on the left, is ideal for leg issues. Cotton padding allows for just the right amount of pressure from the self-adhesive bandage tape.
Cotton padding is what we prefer to use on lower limbs, and have found it provides the best type of padding and support. Cotton rolls like this may be found at most farm and ranch stores, and feed stores.
