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

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?
Pillow over his face if he keeps snoring.:lol:

Sorry, I have no idea if it actually was the Manuka honey which aided the fur regrowth or if it was co-incidental. Nancy was prescribed it by her Vet as she had an open wound so l suggest speaking to your vet about the fur loss - if you haven't already done so.
Her partner Will didn't lick it.
