Show Answer by Dr. H. J. Frederick. i Proud flesh can be easily removed I from the horse's leg by cutting it out, cither with a sharp knife or pair of i shears, or it can be burned out with a hot iron. Proud flesh is nothing j. more than cxhubcrant granulation. ' That is, overstimulation of the part 1 that has been injured and the growing out of tissue outside of its proper place, or outside of the skin. This can usually be controlled by using a bandage on the part and keeping the wound powdered over with compound alum powder, or a mixture of boric acid and iodiform. If it grows large and out of proportion extrapation is the only method. After cutting it out it should be powdered over with tannic acid, cotton applied to the wound and a bandage around the cotton cot-ton and the wound. If wire cuts would be kept clean from the commencement one would not be troubled with these bad conditions condi-tions that usually arise. The cotton and the bandage whenever they could be applied after clensing the wound and the application of a little drying powder would right most of these conditions. |
