Firstly - happy New Year 
 Not always the best start to be stomped so soon after the beginning of a New Year, but hey - lets take the bull by the horns. Current case is a Lurcher who got bitten on the flank abdomen 3 days ago.

&lt;p&gt;Active suction drains are great for such cases with large areas of fascial detachment. A few tacking sutures also help to keep things in the right place, You may need the grenade for a few days while the skin sticks back to the deeper layers. And a body stockingette is what we use when we have drains in place to help keep everything secure&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers&lt;/p&gt;

The grenade type active drains are easy to use and relatively cheap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
