Help - advice needed for healing wound/scab
 

Hi all,My horse has a wound on his withers - had it for about 3 weeks now, at first it was oozy and big and we have treated it well enough so that it has got much smaller and non infected. Its now just a bit scabby with flesh underneath - but seems to be taking ages to heal. Its a circular shape, the skin around it seems to be healing but the wound itself is a little raised. Vet advised to wash everyday with hibiscrub.We are currently cleaning it with hibiscrub but not removing the scab as all this does is make it bleed out. Then spraying it with antibacterial spray and leaving it to dry. Then fly spray around it to keep them away.Does anyone have any tips to speed up healing? I am desperate to ride him again but I cannot as the wound is right where his saddle pad would sit.thanks, any advice appreciated.
