RE: [AlpacaTalk] RE: Odd Injury


I clean all wounds with Chlorhexidine (Hebiclens for humans or Novalsan for animals) It kill viruses and bacteria and has a sustained action. I then apply Swat to repel the flies. It works great.

OK, still obsessing here and leaving on ALL the lights all night long. Can't even sleep it is so bright around here!The general consensus is this was done by my intact male. But the slashes are on either side (and the deepest one across the top of the base) of the neck. I have found 2 shorter, but almost as deep slashes on the opposite of the deep one and higher up. And another one, not nearly as deep, right next to the really bad one. These are really close together. Like 2 talons, or 2 razor sharp teeth that are close together.Wouldn't the fighting teeth be spaced further apart?I actually want to believe that the damage was done "in house", tho that seems odd to me to think my boy would be in constant danger, rather than the occ danger from outside predators.I am so puzzled....and every day when I clean and dress the wound I just cannot picture the trauma that obviously occurred. To me it looks like a *really* serious swat from a very angry large cat. But then again I think if that was so there would be more than 2 slashes on both locations.Right now I am just trying to keep infection and insects at bay. I have discovered diapers make a perfect bandage. And I am duct taping like crazy - it doesn't stick too well by the time I have finished cleaning, the fiber is wet. So I am overlaying several rows in an effort to keep out the awful horse flies we have landing on them at this time of year.Guess I'll never really know what happened :-(.Janice in GA
