Yesterday morning, Fraser's fly rug arrived. As Mac is on holiday this week, and we were at home, we decided we might as well bring Fraser in and see if it fitted, what with it being so hot. Anyway, having brought him in to the yard it was apparent he had been bothering the dressing on his cut, and had dislodged it and made the cut bleed. On taking the dressing off, the wound had clearly opened up and looked pretty grim. Vet came in the afternoon (Clare - hurrah!)and says it is quite possibly a sequestrum (bone chip), and if another strong course of antibiotics doesn't clear it up and he doesn't start healing properly, he'll have to go in to the clinic for x-rays and probable surgery. He has quite a tight dressing on to try and pull the sides together. (Both the vet and I managed to dress his leg without sedating him, which was nice.)The new fly rug fits ok, and he seems to feel a bit cooler today.
