poodlefan Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Everyone would know how much store I put in the great qualities of Active Manuka Honey (emphasis being on the "Active" component rather than just on the honey itself), but would you really want to put it on a puncture wound?My concerns would be that dirt will stick due to its 'stickiness' and may not be helpful in keeping the wound clean. I stuck it on Howies face puncture after the first few days to help with healing the wound.. worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymoo Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Heffy (butter wouldnt melt in HIS mouth would it??) His eye and the punture under his throat (not that you can really see from pics huh?) I had them out for wees in seperate runs and I dont think they can even be beside each other as they tried to go through the fence (luckily impossible) I think the friendship is well and truely over for these guys.... Both are happy and well today, no swelling I can see, but every time they go out (they are mainly crated today) an morning and night I have flushed wounds in the betadine Naughty boys, tails still wagging and they keep telling me, it wasnt them and theya re the best boy in the whole world! lol Cheeky brats!

ellz Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Oh, another plug is needed for Manuka Honey for wounds.. awesome stuff. Will actually stop wounds scabbing up which assists with detering the formation of scar tissue. Make sure it's medicinal grade though. Would you get this from a pharmacy? Or Health food shop. Organic food section of the supermarket too. MUCH cheaper!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We don't have a health food shop, but will check out the supermarket and pharmacy, so I know where it is if I need it - hopefully I won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) looking clean at least MIssyMoo god they're turds arent they my boys have had blues and once you clean the drool and blood away I always found it just looked a heck of a lot worst until I washed it. Malinois did do a flying attack once across the rottie (when she's overexcited she's like a viper that dog ) and gave him a 5cm gash on his back. Just nicked the skin. Shave, betadine and superglue. Would never know it happened Edited July 16, 2009 by Nekhbet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Looks like Jarrah honey might be the go for Sandgropers: Jarrah HoneyThis Honey from Western Australian Jarrah Trees ( Eucalyptus marginata) has been researched by the Department of Agriculture And Food Research Western Australia. Their results showed that Jarrah honey had special antimicrobial properties. They measured this antimicrobial using the term of "Total Activity" (TA). Jarrah honey is measured by scientific laboratories with the "TA" ranking. A rating of 15+ can be used to treat wounds, burns and skin infections. A western Australia honey producer now markets Jarrah honey with a TA ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunagirll Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks Guys Jarrah honey is a good alternative to manuka, try to find a local apiarist who sells it. You want the upprocessed stuff that hasn't been heat treated, just spun to produce the honey ;) there's one up in the swan valley that does jarrah honey but that might be a bit too far for you!

Yep it's about 700km's! However we do have a couple of bee guys down here, but the only problem is Jarrah doesn't grow here, more down the southwest. Here it is more wildflower honeys - all tastes good though, oh and unprocessed apart from getting honey out of the honeycomb and into a jar or bucket! Edited for those annoying missing letters!

Erny Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Rommimum, when I tried to get Manuka Honey I was told you can't get it in WA because of the quarantine:-( So I don't think you'll find it locally. Australia was producing Active Manuka Honey at least at one stage. Not sure where though, however it shouldn't be affected by quarantine laws.

OSoSwift Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Okay, I will do some searching! This is what I have found http://www.wescobee.com/-Jarrah-Honey-.html You can buy Active Manuka Honey on the web, but cannot get it sent to WA - even though someone on ebay from NZ said they send theres to australia and all over the world! I just hope they don't bring in any pests! Edited July 18, 2009 by rommimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 There is an Australian equivalent - I'm checking into details and seeking some more information on it. Will post once I receive some response. But on the WA situation .... is the "quarantine law" relative to the import of the honey from OS, or would it permit the honey to cross its State borders if the honey was produced in Australia?

But I've still placed some enquiries on the Aussie made equivalent as well as whether there is an awareness by the manufacturers of it of the WA restrictions and if/when I get a reply I'll post it up here for info sake. Wonder what component of manufactured honey could pose a risk, from WA's pov? Edited July 18, 2009 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijbiz Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I know every time we flew into WA we had to put all fresh fruit into the special bins at the airport, but as we were allowed to bring in sealed meusli bars etc that contain fruit I would think that you could bring it in if it was in a sealed container ?????? Especially as they sell imported honey in Woolies/Coles here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
