In recent years, the author has used honey to treat 18 cases of purulent wounds in horses, cattle, sheep, and other livestock, achieving satisfactory results. Method: First, dilute the honey with sterilized distilled water or cooled boiled water into a 10%-20% solution and set it aside. During treatment, first clean the pus cavity with hydrogen peroxide (or another disinfectant), and wipe the washing liquid from the cavity with sterilized dressing, then rinse with the honey solution. Alternatively, first wash the wound cavity with the honey solution, then apply the honey solution to the wound surface and cover it with sterilized gauze soaked in honey. If the wound cavity is relatively deep, a sterilized gauze strip soaked in honey can be used

Alternatively, first wash the wound cavity with the honey solution, then apply the honey solution to the wound surface and cover it with sterilized gauze soaked in honey. If the wound cavity is relatively deep, a sterilized gauze strip soaked in honey can be used for drainage. Change the dressing once every day or every other day. If the dressing is changed continuously, no further washing is needed. Generally, 3-5 applications will bring about a cure.
