Nancy's duck's healing was amazing.  That reminds me of my pet  rat.  She'd had 
a large mamary tumor removed and chewed her  stitches out.  She had over an 
inch of cut skin hanging open; I  could see her internal organs.  The vet had 
me bring her back in  to be restitched.  After she woke up, she chewed those 
stitches  out too.  He said just leave the hole open.  It totally  healed up 
with no problem and I didn't even put anything on it since  she'd just lick it 
off.  Sure wish I'd known about colloidal  silver a couple years ago, at least 
I wouldn't have worried quite so  much about infection.
