Radiograph: intake
No fecal material found

Evaluated today w/ radiographs under Isofluorane.
Radiographs - nsf. R carpus lightly scabbed. L carpus has a very small wound (0.5 cm) but it is a bit deeper. Overall it looks fresh but the edges are slightly dark.
Transferred upstairs for quick debridement and closure.
Carefully trimmed the darker edge until I got nice healthy bleeding tissue. Placed 3 small sutures to oppose edges w/ 4-0 PDS. Closed perpendicular to wing to reduce tension.
Silver gel, Telfa, Tegaderm over the wound.
Bandage change/ check sutures when down to repeat Excede. I will check next week. Dr Gardner
