RE: [AlpacaTalk] RE: honey

 

I think the sugar in the honey makes the swelling in the tissues go down and it is then easier to put it back in place. I had an alpaca with a prolapsed uterus and the vet told me to have a 5 pound bag of sugar ready when he got there. He poured the sugar over the prolapse after cleaning it off. The sugar drew the fluid out of the tissues so he was able to fit it back in.

            The prolapsed tissue is cleaned off and an antibacterial may be used if any lacerations……..then a "dollop" of honey is coated on and it is gently pushed back inside the bird, which a gloved little finger.  Sounds awful, but worse to leave it.  I know this isn't a chicken list, but wanted to give an odd example of the many uses for honey!

<<< You can imagine my surprise when told honey is the best product
to "push" a prolapsed vent back into a chicken. Since then, I have heard of
many many uses for honey, besides hot biscuits and tea!

How is it used for this purpose Laura?
