<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I would suggest going with your Vet on this one. Maybe he can do it with a local. If not, he will be extra careful, I am sure. The reason I say this is because in my time working for the Vet I HAVE dealt with dogs and cats with wounds full of maggots. It is one of THE SINGLE most unpleasant situations you can possibly imagine. </font></font></div>
<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Aside from that, this thing is going to continue to be messy, and she's going to want to lick it and make it worse. You also run the risk of just general infection, because it is an open wound.</font></font></div>
<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Ask about using a local. Be sure he understands how very worried you are. I do understand your concern and it is always a risk, but I think you and PW Penny will both be more comfortable with the thing gone.</font></font></div>
