I said I wasn't happy with that and would like to try drawing it out instead. He was given a course of antibiotics and an appointment to have his anesthetic in a week. I decided to try BLACK SALVE - usually a no-no with doctors and vets. I appllied it as would to myself and left it for 24hrs and low and behold - it drew out the seed and left a nice clean hole which I put betadine on. Expand a little severe I think. maybe next time use magnoplasm, it works and is of less concern on the skin. I would rather poke a stick into my eye than put that on my dogs, it is irresponsible to do so edited to add a couple of explanatory links https://www.healthline.com/health/black-salve-cancer https://www.sciencealert.com/what-is-black-salve-and-can-it-cure-cancer Edited June 24, 2018 by Boronia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is called Ichthammol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Government agencies are usually fairly conservative in their wording. So I though it was novel that the Therapeutic Goods Administration said of black salve: "Your shouldn't sell snake oil". Years ago coal tar ointment was used for anything and everything. Wonder if that's the same ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
