Hello! My sweet boy, Peterson James, has IBD/pancreatitis and had a feeding tube put in exactly one week ago. At first, the insertion site looked perfect, but two days ago, it started to emit a brownish discharge and pretty gross smell (I am sensitive to smells, so I may be overreacting!) I am waiting for a call back from his Internist to see if I need to take him in to have it looked at, but I'm doing everything I can to not cause him any more stress- especially if I'm overreacting to a normal healing process!
So I guess I'm looking for what your experiences were with e-tube wound healing- was there discharge? Did it smell bad?
Note: I used Hibiclens brand chlorhedixidine topical antiseptic to clean it and had applied Neosporin instead of using the solution the night before it started to ooze a lot. I'm wondering if the Neosporin could be creating or contributing to the amount of ooze.
