Quick update on this - as things looked yesterday when we took Karmen to the vet, it appears she's going to make a full recovery!! I will admit that when the vet showed me her wound about 2 weeks ago (it had been bandaged and it was the first time I was seeing it), I was skeptical that it would ever heal. It was deep (down to the muscle) and HUGE (about 5+ inches in diameter, covering her rear).
Well, she had a bandage change yesterday and the wound is (per our vet) quickly closing. They said it's down to about 1-2 inches in diameter and she will likely not even need the bandages in another week or so. Everyone was so relieved!! Our vet did this without any surgery, just using laser treatments, debreeding, and sugar & honey treatments. All I have to say is - Wow!!
