Greyman 29,539 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Honey makes a good antiseptic seal over open wounds, have cleared up some horrendous wounds using it, first used it to treat a hedgehog as I could not get at its injury’s and it worked a treat so use it now on any open wounds 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Allegedly mate .Dont get admitting to anything on here .Any treatment requiring surgery ,unless it’s a matter of life or death is illegal unless performed by a qualified vet . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
