*Update*Help somthing atacked Big P(NEW Pics pg9)

[CarriBrown]

OK, I took a better look at the pic and I think not closing the outer wound is best. Unfortunatly, I've been though a couple of really bad injuries with horses (I'm assuming the skin of a horse and the skin of a chicken would heal sort of the same??) and keeping the wound covered in bag balm, Corona (the medication, not the beer

) or something like that works best.
Besides, it's been days and that skin is already drying up and probably won't take to being stiched very well.
Jeffrey- I'm going to PM you my phone number. If you can get over to my area this weekend, call me and I'll mix up a salve that I use on my horses. The trick is to pile it on real thick, and gently wipe off dirt with a paint brush before applying more. Keeping the wound totally covered is important. I mix a couple of different things together to get a consistancy that will not melt off in the heat.

*yep. I was trying to post something to that effect-- more like, not sterile, not desolvable, and too food catching = all bad news. . . .by the by-- was I getting anywhere about being able to sterilize silk & it being dissolving?

I don't know if you can sterilize silk thread- maybe in an autoclave. Surgical silk is different somehow... Silk is non-absorbable.​

* What about antibiotics, Jeff? How's that coming?

try and ask around or google where you can get tissue glue (NOT superglue)
http://www.dermabond.com/home.jhtml?_requestid=1172526
to use on that between the stitches (think put on a sterilized needle to where you can apply a drop inbetween the stitches)... keep stitches moist and take out as soon as possible and then reuse the tisue glue after removel.
For the "outer" skin> Remove dead (outer skin) (sterilize !) and use on that inbetween widely spaced ("support) stitching if possible ?
You might also think about using two tiny feathers crossed and bound to keep the skin "closed" and yet open enough to allow any exudate to escape ((space in between) > this will keep pressure from breaking open the "internal" stitches and yet provide a way to reach them (just unbind the two crossed feathers or clip them) when you need access to the stitches to remove them?
