Hi everyone,
Has anyone got any hidden secrets that will help speed the recovery of wounds. In particular after the intial wound is healed the scar tissue that then remains. In late early Feb Monty slashed his front leg about two inches above the stopper pad on a broken beer bottle while leaping into a dam (4 internal stitches 5 external stitches and $308 on a sunday later). Although the wound has healed well (no infection) he has a large hard mass around the wound area which according to the vet is scar tissue around the tendons. As a result after a bit of work he limps a bit. Swimming has improved this but it all seems a little slow when you want to be back training!
I was lucky enough to go inwith the vet and watch her sew him up so I know there is no tendon damage just the muscle was slashed.
