Cider's Progress

As many of you know my dog Cider had a pretty significant operation on March 19th. Although the operation itself was successful (cancerous lump removed) the healing process has been rather challenging. Canine legs are just too mobile . . . and very slow to heal. Even two weeks after the surgery, my dog's leg had not even begun to heal in one area. When I was feeling the most uncertain about what to do to help Cider . . . I happened to meet an individual at a pet store that suggested Manuka Honey Treatments. Isn't it amazing that you can go to one specific place, at one specific moment in time and bump into one person that has the information you need : )

I had never heard of Manuka Honey before, but you can read all about the medical bells and whistles here. It has been studied for over 20 years, with successful results in both humans and animals.

Needless to say I made an appointment to talk to my Vet immediately and he approved. Although my favourite Aussie Vet is currently on holidays in Australia and will not be back until May, I am encouraged by this New Zealand Honey. I think the theme of Cider's healing is certainly in the land Down Under : )

We also got lucky and found this amazing New Zealand Honey at a local Health Food Store, here in Canada. We did not have to wait for a mail order and could begin treating her with honey on her bandages right away. Yes, it is as simple as that.

I am happy to report that Cider's progress has been quite significant in just 5 days. I am no longer "fainting" at the site of her leg. She is also much more content and we can now see the solution ahead of us. Medicinal Honey . . . I call it Magic in a Jar : )
