Monet's Garden fighting for his life

This is great news; I've been thinking about him for the past couple of days, and hoping that no news was good news. His owner deserves a medal of some kind for this, and I'm so pleased for the people at Greystoke.
 
Im so pleased about this - not least becaused Ive used him as the hope for a girl whose horse Ive been nursing with a similar injury (though weve never heard for certain what MG actually had wrong have we??) they are only right at the beginning of the road to recovery,and may yet not get there - but Monets has certainally been able to give them hope....

SO glad for all his connections that things are almost safe. :D
 
Thanks so much for the update, been thinking of him daily.

Trudij, would Manuka honey be any help with the horse you are treating?
 
not really Raksha - manuka is amazing for skin wounds and mouth wounds, but this horse has a navicula bursa infection amongst other things,so its not somthing that you can use for that sort of thing.

Shame really - its amazing stuff :)
 
Damn good on hot toast! I have a jar in the cupboard, and it's yummy to just eat off a spoon. Manuka comes in different strengths, too. The best for warding off nasties is 15, I believe.

Really good for cats with sore throats. (Or those who just pretend, fake a cough, gulp and look hopeful!)

Is this mouth wounds in humans or horses? does it do anything for infections in the mouth?

Had a back tooth out two weeks ago today & the gum area is still extremely sore & swollen
 
Actually, doesn't have to be manuka honey - any honey will do - it's the action of the sugar on the flesh wound (eats away infected area) that does the trick, so I have reliably been informed by folk who've done comparison tests!!
 
Well that would make it a lot cheaper!

Just wondering how i would keep it over the wound for a period of time though?
 
The mouth wound the woman is using it on is a bit one on the corner of her horses mouth - and weve got her applying it as needed. (usually people use vasaline - the reason I suggested honey was partly cos it tastes better so she might be able to do it easier for a while - plus if she can get it to stick a bit, it will hopefully work for longer and help heal as well as act as a cover.)

The thicker the honey, the better it tends to stick - thats the only difference Ive ever found for it too !!!
 
:adore: Respect, Monet's! Respect! What a battler - let's hope all's well for the rest of the dear horse's retirement years.
