Hi Christa
I beg to differ with you yet Granulex is the medicine we used very successfully 
for most of Bunny's wounds when they started getting proud flesh. It was the 
acid test of any medication because he was down for 4 months with pressure 
sores galore!! We tried turning him every 2-3 hours yet he would turn himself 
right back over the minute we were out of sight at night. So long as we used 
Granulex at the start of the proud flesh, we were OK. It has only been when the 
proud flesh has protruded beyond where the skin would be that I have had to go 
for the scalpel-- ugh! Not my favorite thing and proud flesh is just a mass of 
blood vessels-- no nerves-- but man does it bleed!! I thought we were going to 
lose Bunny over it-- held compresses on him for hours-- yet the proud flesh was 
so bad we had to get it under control while we still had him in a sling and had 
some control over him (like we EVER had control over him ;-) )
Go to his web site if you want to read what we did to help him survive. 
http://www.saving-bunny.com  Ridecamp gave me many of the keys to helping him 
survive his ordeal. Granulex is my friend! And I have also used Panacur once a 
wound has started to heal (not immediately) and that helps prevent proud 
flesh-- but man is it expensive! We were going through what seemed cases of 
Granulex and now Bunny is perfectly fine with just a few spots where white hair 
came in-- so we have a Pinto! :-)
I am obviously not a vet, although I followed their advice largely (except for 
their recommendations to put Bunny down), and can only offer what worked for us.

a ride !! "
