Your article states that hosing with water every day is the best thing to do. Could you explain what role water has to play in the healing process in more depth(besides keeping things clean)? |

Hello Mandy,
As you read through the article, the specific role of hosing wounds in wound healing is addressed again and again. Perhaps a careful reading would yield more specific questions so I do not need to go over already covered material.
Or perhaps you do not understand the importance and difficulty of keeping a open wound clean, really clean, without harming the elements that promote quicker and better quality healing. Other than saline under pressure, where a isotonic saline solution similar to what is found in the blood is applied under pressure, I do not know of a better, more wound friendly, method than clean water under pressure.

Mandy,
I know my vet always says, "the solution to pollution is dilution." I think it's a vet school saying that they drill into your head, right
Dr. O? |

No, that is the first time I have heard that, but I like it.
