“ On October 23, 2000 "Beaver" was found in the morning in the neighbors pasture. He had stepped over the field fence and ran through the barbed wire fence of the neighbors.

A 10-12 inch long and 8-10 inch wide laceration was on the left neck just cranial to the shoulder and at the most ventral portion.

The Cleidomastoideus and Omotranversarius muscles were transected.
The jugular vein was exposed and the carotid artery and trachea could be palpated within the cavity that was created.

Initially, "Beaver' was placed on intravenous antibiotics and NSAIDS for 3 days and the wound was cleaned with betadine solution.
A call was made to EquiPet for samples to use on this case in order to enter into the contest.

The Derma Gel arrived and treatment began on November 4, 2000.

All oral antibiotics and topical antibacterial treatments were discontinued. The healing of the wound appeared to accelerate after the use of Derma Gel and gave the wound a better granulation bed to heal.”
