Injured Comb

Missed this yesterday when putting everyone up, I’m guessing she got into a fight since she’s normally trying to start them. It looks like the one spike is dying off, anything to do? Or will it be like frostbite and just fall off?

Is this photo post cleaning? Usually, comb injuries appear to be much worse than they are due to combs bleeding a lot following injury.

You are correct. There isn't much to be done for a comb injury unless the comb has been detached from the scalp. Clean with soap and water and put a wound ointment or Blu-kote on the comb.

It's rare that comb tips will be so injured the tissue dies, but, yes, it would drop off like a frost bite injury would.

Yep that was after cleaning, most areas had scabbed overnight.The black area has continued to progress, but her energy levels are good so I’ll continue to put ointment on the scabby swollen bits and wait and see for the rest. .
