Necrotic tissue on leg

[casportpony]

Its only on the scaly lower part of the leg. She is in my living room next to the radiator at the moment. I can get some hibiscrub tomorrow and give her another wash. I will take some more photos.

If it's on the scaly part of her lower leg you should be able to slice it off. Once you get it down to healthy tissue you might want to wrap it, but all dead and infected tissue must be removed first. What sort of antibiotic creams/ointments can you get in the UK?

Sorry the pics aren't great. There is no black tissue so I guess that is good?there is still quite alot of loose tissue on the base of her foot.

I can only get antibiotics from a vet with a prescription. I have some regular antibacterial cream and some equine wound powder. And purple spray.

Does the othe leg look normal?

Yes. It was covered in mud balls all over the feathers but is fine.

So no evidence of scaly leg mites?

There could be. Some of the others she was with had them. I have given her a few drops of ivermectin.
I just found some f10 germicidal wound spray. We got it for fly strike on a rabbit. Would that be good to spray on her leg?

You have recieved good advice from casportpony and eggcessive.
I don't have any other input at this time, but will follow along. I'm interested to see how this turns out.
It will be wonderful if you can continue with updates and photos as you treat her.

I think the hibiclens would probably be better than iodine. Hibiclens is what we all use in hospitals nowadays. Iodine is okay for a time or two, but it has it’s drawbacks as well. Epsom salts water works quite well too, but the Hibiclens (chlorhexidene) is very good for antiseptic use.
