Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Goober got a big splinter in his hand today 3+ inches long right under the skin. So I pulled it out, cleaned it real well and cleaned w/ TT . (My mom held him while I put TT on it and she ws saying "Why can't you be normal and just use H2O2". LOL) It's had salve on it today and it's soaking in epsoms salt now. I'll put salve on it again tonight and I'm gonna get the stuff for the healing powder tomorrow. My question is to I open the rest of it up b4 I put powder on it tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 The first inch or so of the big end was open and the rest closed. It was just under the skin so I could see it was all out, but it looked like there were a few bits of debries left. When I looked at it this afternoon it looks all clean. Most of it looked good. The end where it came out was a bit inflamed so I TTed it again and put cayenne on it before the TH. (Yeah I know it should stay on for 24 hours but that would require sedation for one of us ) Becky How open is it? If the opening is fairly good... then you're ok... Are you sure you got it all out??
