Aural Plaques update

Dr Dunbar cam out today to float Broadway's teeth. Boy is she not a light weight. Much like Scarlett before her she took a lot of drugs to make her sleepy. The noise is what gets her and she doesn't react well. After the float we decided to inspect her ears for how the Aldera was treating the Aural Plaques. We were able, with a little fight, to clip the ears so we could get a better look and clean them well before treatment three. When we first started it didn't look like there had been a lot of improvement but as we started cleaning the ears the plaques sloughed off showing raw skin below. Based on the University of Minnesota study this is really common and actually treatment week three, where we are, is supposed to be the worst. Thankfully she was sedated so we were able to clean the ears well and put in the next treatment. I have included the pictures below but stop here if you don't want to see them as they are raw and open. I will post pictures again after the next treatment and then after the rawness heals. If you are considering this treatment for your horse make sure you have a good fly mask with ears to keep the ears protected.
