Dear Wendy--and everyone:
For detailed information on the different ways that skin wounds can
heal, please read "Burn Unit" by Barbara Ravage, chapter 11:
"Healing." It is a wonderful, detailed book on the history of burn
treatment, especially the work of Boston City and Massachusetts
General Hospitals after the Cocoanut Grove fire. The chapter on
healing applies to more than just burns. The whole book is about
more than just burns.
My dear friend Meggie's dad was in the Cocoanut Grove fire. He was
in public relations and that night he and his wife were accompanying
his client Buck Jones, a western film star. The fire began in the
basement room, the Melody Lounge as the main floor waited for the
10:00 pm floor show to begin. Buck Jones and Meggie's dad's wife
were killed but Meggie's dad managed to escape with serious burns.
(My mother told me that Meggie's dad's first wife went back for her
mink--but who knows?) Meggie's dad met Meggie's mom when he was
recuperating at Mass Gen. She was a volunteer there.

Thanks for the tip Chris. I will keep that in mind and watch how
this thing heals in the next couple of days.

Just be careful with the peroxide, it can actually prevent proper
healing if
used to much. Weird but true. I was doing that with Momma's back
as well
until I talked to the vet about it. I did notice that it worked
great when
I first started using it, but eventually the spot stopped healing.

Subject: OT: Update on the 'hotspot' on Stretch's back
Hey guys,
Stretch's back is healing up quite nicely! Thank you for the
advice! The
spot was larger than a quarter, and it was just raw skin-no fur and
the top
layers of skin were missing; it was completely reddish, poor baby.
I had
already had him on a course of antibiotics, which I'm sure helped,
but after
reading advice from this site and another, I started using hydrogen
peroxide
3-4 times a day to "disinfect" the spot, and immediately after, I
would put
antibiotic cream on her. The spot is now the size of a dime. It's
healing
from the edges in, instead of forming a complete scab. Weird, but
nevertheless, it is healing, thank goodness! I really think that
it might
have been a spider bite instead of an allergic reaction, but we
will never
know.
:)
