Nancy tonight after meds and eye drops. Her fur has grown back thickly where her abscess wound was but is still sparse elsewhere. This was where the Manuka honey was applied.

How interesting, I don't know much about this, is it something your vet recommended or something you're already clued up on? My boy has a tiny sore on his hock that gets no worse but no better, I'm just wondering if this might help?
That's so interesting, thank you!I began to use it on intractable rabbit abscesses around 20 years ago as I read it had worked on leg ulcers that were slow/difficult to heal.
I found it helped, and I usually try and get a high 'medical' grade when I use it.
It's since been adopted by lots of vets for rabbit abscesses and works very well.

You still need to use systemic antibiotics for these problems in rabbits, but the honey certainly helps
That's so interesting, thank you!

This was recommended by my vet.
I was vaguely aware of the healing properties of Manuka Honey but it would not have occurred to me to use it on Nancy.
OH suggested he try it on his head to see if his hair grows back.:lol:
MM - Sorry I do not know the potency- there is nothing obvious on the tube. I got it from the vets.
:shock:
I guess he'll wake up with a pillow case stuck to his head then?
Resurrecting this thread.
We’re going thorough fur loss on the neck of one of my buns, have been to the vets... would this be suitable, and is the other rabbit likely to lick it off?!
