The wounds filled in pretty quickly and he is sound to ride but I've been treating the proud flesh using PVP iodine ointment, and one time we cut the proud flesh away, since the wounds filled but the progress has been very slow. The left leg responded fairly well and has mostly healed, but the right still looked like this a week ago.

Last week I started using a product call Equaide and I have to say I'm surprised at with the results. It's difficult to see how much the proud flesh has shrunk but the flesh is growing in around the edges. There's still a ways to go but this is more progress in one week than I had seen in several months.

Equaide is expensive so I ordered two ounces, the smallest amount available. It comes in a small jar with a Popsicle stick to stir, and a small acid brush for applying, the stuff. The ointment it self is dark Grey and about the consistency of mustard and appears as the company states to be 'water based', but that is all we know about it. I'd prefer to know the ingredients and because I don't know I don't recommend the product but I will continue to post what I observe.
This photo shows what it looks like applied, when applied thinly as directed it dries quickly and forms a hard shell. The directions have you scrub the proud flesh with antibacterial soap until there's a little blood, let the wound dry, then apply the Equaide thinly once daily until the proud flesh has been reduce to the skin level. Once it's been reduce to the skin level the product is to be apply every other day.

So, in another week I'll post more pictures and we'll see if there's any more progress :)
