Fungus can grow on dead tissue.
Maybe add abit of pimafix with the myxazin.
Does the wound look infected.

she's still goin about and no new growth on the wound site today.... fingers crossed and everything else been treating my g/f goldie for a scale wound and it seems to be better today think it may take a few days for this stuff to kick in. 3rd dose today out of a 5 day course. thanx for the advice wilder.
