OK I guess that was the after both were out picture. here is what came out- kind of gross but easy to deal with. I packed the big hole (after I soaked it) with neosporine and wrapped it up and every day for two weeks I soaked it in Epsom salts and re-wrapped it until last night it looked healed over completely I decided to let her go home. also the foot is back to normal size! when I was done I couldn't believe it would actually go down but it did and she walks and runs fast! I know cause she got away once but luckily I only worked on her after dark and she only ran into the light so was easy to catch :-)
thank you all for your help and encouragement I wouldn't have known what to do without you and I know little “Golda” is a happy girl too thanks :-)
