Thank you SO MUCH to Hotternhel for all her wisdom concerning wound care. She is the "wound master" and the second vet agreed that her advice was absolutely sound and that I should continue to follow it.
Anyways here are some progression pictures.
08-11-09

08-16-09 It got really big and started to freak me out. The vet said it would continue to expand before it started to contract and he was right.

08-21-09... approx 2 weeks after she sliced it. It's started to close up really well. (Acrylic nail people... I know... I needed a fill lol. That's 2 weeks!) This is before hosing it, now that I've stopped scrubbing since the crevass has closed up.

After hosing and betadine rinse. Now I'm just hosing it off real quick (and a total body rinse since her being salty/sweat/itchy is what caused her to do
this IMO) and rinsing with betadine before the alushield. It still hasn't gotten super dry since the second day, so I've continued to try and dry it
out some to limit the proud flesh growth. I think it's been working. You can see where it has healed along the edges
Now that it's completely closed in, I might try some proud flesh treatment. I just wanted it to fill in and cover up and close up a little before I went
after the proud flesh.
