Whilst Morse clearly still has health problems his infected ears are responding really well to the Manuka Honey. Honestly, you should've seen the look on C's face when I asked if it was OK to try Manuka Honey as a topical ear treatment.
I think she had visions of my pouring half a pot of honey it Morse's ears !! :lol:
Basically I flush each ear out with sterile saline and then drop a pea sized blob of Manuka Honey (+15 UMF) into each ear. Then I gently massage the earbase to disperse the honey.
Today, after 6 days of treatment Morse has no pus in his left ear and the right ear, which was by far the worse and at first too painful for me to treat without first administering a strong pain killer (prescribed by C),is now doing much better. I am able to flush it and apply the Honey without the need for additional analgesia, just Metacam. There is still pus, but no-where near as much as before. The main thing is that the ear is obviously less painful.
Also, Morse has put on a tiny bit of weight
He is having another blood test on Thursday
