camrosa ointment??

[whisper]

hi there- has anybody got any experience using camrosa ointment- good or bad?

willow has a deep cut to her fetlock, and was thinking it might be good to reduce scarring/proud flesh?

not sure if it is any good, a waste of money, or if it is harmfull at all?







whisper has done much the same to each one of her legs as a youngster, and has lots of scars and some proup flesh- im hoping to show willow so want to reduce as much scarring/proud flesh as i can! any ideas, or advice would be greatly recieved- thanks, vicki. x

I have used Camrosa before and got really good results. But one of the best things you can use is Manuka honey. Excellent results from this.

Good luck.

I have also used camrosa and had mixed results. The first so i am not totally sold on the product.

I have too say that's a dozer of a cut. Good luck and i hope it heals quickly.
Poor Willow

Hi Vicki,
You can buy Manuka Honey in supermarkets eg., Tesco, Sainsbury's. It's about £10 a jar and I know loads of folk who've had excellent results using it. Put it directly onto the wound, it's got natural antibiotics in it

thanks, i'l see if my dad can pick some up next week (he works through in inverness) is it not realy sticky to wash off?!

using a drop of tea tree oil in sterile water to rinse it at the mo, and hypercal cream (herbal remedy cream containing hypericum and calendula) looked nice and pink and clean when changed dressing tonight.

Manuka honey would be best - i've head camrosa is carcinogenic so i'm steering clear

That is a seriously nasty cut

[whisper]

yeah i keep hearing that too...

it is a belter of a cut- she's like her mother alright- whisper was intent on severing her legs when she was a youingster.

not very clear pics, as phone is rubbish at taking pics in artificial light...but
looking a bit better last night...

Poor girl!

Slap on the manuka honey, i've heard brilliant things about it. If she tries to lick it, mix in some black wound powder, or even mustard powder, to discourage her

Yip another fan of Makuka honey. When Maverick cut his leg badly during the summer, I slobbered on the honey and it healed very quickly. The cut was quite deep and was badly swollen looking too. I had the vet out who gave antibiotics for him, but it was definitely the honey that did the trick and there is no scaring or anything visable left now.

[whisper]

did you bandage over the honey? or just leave it?

[jill]

No badaging required. Just spread it onto the wound and leave it to do it's job

[whisper]

ok, and then what? do you need to wash it off and re-apply? how often etc?

[ribrabs]

I didn't wash it off daily, just a couple of times a week and there didn't seem to be any need to wash it off the area that the wound was on, just the surrounding hair that was a bit sticky! Mind you once Merlyn discovered that Maverick had the honey on it was a battle to get him to stop licking it off!!!

[whisper]

just a couple of pics of willows foot last night- got the vet out nearly a week ago and he gave her some antibiotics- looking much better now! she's been in overnights with no bandage on- just blue spray from vet, and out (in the snow!! ) during the day with a dry dressing on. its getting there!

[helen11]

ouch - what a nasty one - seems to be healing well tho!

[whisper]

yeah it was a pretty impressive wound- considering the size of her foot! its coming on very nicely now though- seems to be getting smaller by the day. the vet thought probable be another week of healing left.

little brat is getting wise to me doing stuff with that foot now though- starting to be a right monkey! terrible two's at six months! ha ha!

Manuka honey is fantastic, good for humans too - take it in a cup of hot water when feeling fluey! It certainly seems to be doing the trick on that nasty wound. I get mine fron Holland and Barrett.
