I’m sure people have put honey, on old wounds before. I sure wouldn’t. But. That’s probably where it originated.
We had patient(dog) that was paralyzed from the neck down, from a spinal fusion complication. We gave her fluffy bedding, and rotated her, every few hours. But. She developed bed soars, on her shoulders and hips, on both sides of her body. After a few weeks, they were just getting worse, in spite of any treatment we had. We used EVERY possible medication, and ointment, known to man. We rotated her every hour. We designed a sort of hang her, in a position to keep pressure off of the joints. Built it from scratch, out of PVC pipes, and mesh.
Nothing worked….:(
After ALL medical treatments were exhausted, we turned to holistic methods. We started applying honey, to her wounds.
I don’t know if it was just too late or what, but that didn’t work out either…..
So. I can’t vouch, for it’s effectiveness…
