Roy's leg on the mend...

Roy sans bandage

Roy got his bandage off today. As you can see there is a small area that hasn't closed up yet. He will have to wear his e-collar for another week to keep him from licking it. We are on our own as far as care goes now. We just have to keep him from damaging the very tender area where the new skin has grown over his wound.

My little patient

Update on Roy

Roy's pathology report came back. There were no malignant cells in the margins! We have been going in twice a week for bandage changes, and it looks like Mother Nature is going to take care of the wound without skin grafts. We are very grateful to the UGA Veterinary staff for their skill and support for us in caring for Roy. After several more bandage changes, he will be his old happy,carefree self again sporting a large scar that will eventually be covered over with fur.
