Posted on Thursday, Sep 13, 2007 - 7:39 am: Dr. O,My 2 year old filly got a small triangle shaped wound on the inside of her left front at the bottom of the ankle. It is minor (less than an inch long and about a half inch wide at the top) but I would like to show her in halter classes and I didn't want the scar that would result in simply snipping off the flap and treating the open wound. I have been putting vet wrap over it to hold it in place. Today if the 5th day I have had vet wrap on it. It looks good. There is minimal swelling and the flap is stuck in place. My question is at what point am I o.k. removing the vet wrap and assuming that the flap is going to hold (not peel up)? I did put her on SMZ's to be sure I would not have an infection result. Ella B
