Progression of Jinx's Healing

His leg is FINALLY healing, so I thought I'd put a few pictures together to show what the progression of his healing has been like...

Here is the first, initial injury:

Here it is after the stitches, and after he had ripped out said stitches:

After healing for a quite a while, and things still not looking "quite right" a blood vessel burst, which can be seen here:

And here is it is, after all the trouble, money, and heartache, FINALLY HEALING!

And it is even smaller than this photo, but I have no had a chance to take pictures of it. The area is finally starting to get smaller, there is no swelling whatsoever in that area, and it is finally starting to look like a happy, healing pink.

At least 2 more weeks of wrapping, then ultrasounds, and we are good to go with lots of fingers crossed and lots of knocking on wood!

3 more weeks?

3 more weeks of wrapping.

Last week, there was some complication with his existing injury. A blood vessel, naturally created by the healing process, and aided with the use of SSD ointment, busted, and created a scene out of a horror movie:

Ridiculous.

And in the meantime, I wrapped his leg too tight (in an attempt to stop the bleeding) and created a small bow in the left hind tendon. It seems that the swelling as all but subsided, but he is going to require ultrasound in that leg before "returning" to training (if you can call it "returning").

So now I am wrapping every other day, and alternating Biozide cream and Entederm. And counting down the days until the next vet appt on 10/19.
