Propolis for Wounded Dogs and People Too! (was) Re: Doxy for Arthritis??

You could also use propolis tincture on the dog's wound. It seals,

heals, clears up infections and relieves pain. The dog will want to

lick off all the honey, but won't be able to lick " bee glue " off --

won't like the taste anyway! Propolis powder or tincture internally

might also help if the dog is willing. I also use propolis tincture

on cuts, wounds, infected hangnails, etc. -- works great! Last month

I almost sliced off the tip of my thumb (instead of an onion) I

applied a few drops of propolis a couple of times daily and covered

it with a bandaid . It healed quickly and I never had any swelling

or pain, even when I pressed hard on the tip.

Bzzz

PS: I love extra virgin olive oil! As a native Italian, I was weaned

on the local stone pressed Italian stuff. I won't make you an offer

you can't refuse if you use olive oil from any other country -- taste

and politics do matter! BTW, I never knew " those people " existed

until I came to the US!
