    Hey, Mistah T has been a healthy eater. Been mixing feed with plain yogurt or and an egg for protein. Been rinsing the area twice a day then adding triple antibiotic ointment with lain relief… I change his t-shirt dressing everyday- he usually can’t keep it on. I just received the cloticol med and Swat today. The flap of skin looks like it’s drying up- it wouldn’t stay attached to the upper part so I just let it flap down. I think I’ll have to cut it off- kinda looks like dried jerky. But he is wondering round the nursing pen with plenty of clean bedding.

    Wow! Thanks for the quick reply! O really appreciate this. Mistah T has been cleaned and dress. I have a teeshirt dressing to help keep airflow around the wound. There are so many takes on what to do, how to clean, which ointment to use etc. There is a 3”x 4” flap of skin hanging from his side down his leg. Should I cut this off and teat with Clotisol? I read that they will regrow skin if there is muscle.

    I personally don't remove skin unless it is needed like to damaged to heal. I tape that skin flap up with a thin piece of sports tape used like a butterfly stitch to help keep dirt out. keep in mind sports tape sticks like a champ if cleaned properly. So much I would use olive oil to peel it off after it is healed. Wash daily with saline flush. Be careful of using to much hydrogen peroxide due to it slowing down heal time.

    We used to run it as deep as we could below each plant then back fill with loose soil. Makes a quick path for the roots to get to the clay and make it to water table

    Instead of katuk you could grow Comfrey (knitbone) Bocking 14 using 2" root segments planted 2" - 3" deep. Comfrey leaves are 26% protein. Bocking 14 doesn't set seed. Comfrey once established has really deep roots so it mines the subsoil for minerals. People should not eat comfrey due to potential liver issues. However, comfrey salve is excellent for healing scrapes and cuts. Chickens and probably ducks can live off 100% comfrey leaves after they are wilted. Other livestock like grazing animals and pigs can eat up to 30% of their diet in comfrey leaves. Comfrey is not high in fiber. It is an extremely hardy plant and perennial. If you have a waste portion of land where nothing grows like sand or extremely rocky soil comfrey once established will thrive there. I don't think that comfrey would grow well in marshy/continuously wet land. Another plant you could grow from seed for nutritious leaves is jute. That is supposed to be very easy to grow from seed and is an annual.
