I have discovered the most marvellous treatment for healing stubborn superficial wounds on dogs. It is called Melladerm and is a honey based ointment with vit A and calendula and is often used to treat pressure wounds on people. It probably goes by another name in the UK. Being a paraplegic myself I have often had burn wounds and the dreaded pressure sores which take simply m-o-n-t-h-s to heal. The honey in this ointment is a natural form of debrider, i.e. it removes dead tissue WITHOUT damaging the new tissue. A friend of mine had a bitch with an open sore who was feeding pups, so she couldn't have any form of cortisone or anti-biotic. After a day or two of using this ointment the sore had virtually disappeared. I have been using it on my whippets for years and absolutely swear by it.

That's interesting. I bet if it was made with raw Manuka honey it would be even more effective. I shall have a word with my herbalist friend. 8)

That is really good to know.

I used manuka honey cream on my whippet's pressure sore but this sounds much better. Thank you lorna anne.

You can buy this in the uk. I have not tried it but it sounds better than Sudocreme that I use presently.

Here is one site that sell it http://www.imagocare.com/#/sanoskin-mellad...plus/4532844451

I was watching one of the Animal Cops ... 'Wherever 'programmes the other day (heartbreaking but compulsive viewing!) and one of the Vets was treating a dog with old open sores. She just squeezed honey direct into the wound and then bandaged it, the dressings were changed very day and I was most impressed with the healing!

My vet advised using Manuka honey to aid wound healing when Fred managed to undo all his stiches on a lump removal.

I can honestly say that I thought I saw a marked improvement in the healing when i did use it. It took a while to heal but I kept forgetting to use the honey and had to keep the wound bandaged, which probably didn't help, but I remember feeling quite encouraged when I took the bandage off one day after using the honey and saw an improvement. I'll try and remember the Melladerm tip.
