I was working at a B&B oh my wow almost 10 years ago...we had several many "Inn cats" one was severely attacked by a raccoon, she had the same skin missing/rotting issue. I actually took her into my home for her treatment period, she had to have a tube placed under one part of her back to just under her back leg to manage the infection drainage, later the tube removal and healing became infected...both times skin had to be removed and then they did an iodine treatment topically (I guess that's what it is called) several times a day-okay I actually had to do it-I think I had her almost 3 months and the tube was in for almost a month-that was the awful part tube would try to heal over and get stuck and needed to be cleaned out but it was visually just so disturbing-never heard of sugar and honey...and of course antibiotics-she was a half wild "Inn Cat" it was a really fun process (not really), but visually I think the situation was also very similar to yours-she somehow managed to look so well disturbing limping, tubed and infected and yet had no issues with getting up and trying to hunt my Chinchilla in his house...I will always be amazed at how the skin regenerated and despite concerns the hair on her coat grew back for the most part, I actually found a really nice home for her with one of my mom's co-workers she was able to regain most use of her hind leg muscle. Of course Mikita became a house cat after that-not sure this helps but really glad things seem to be looking up for your parents dog. |
