A friend's raw honey saved my sled dog from having to travel 350 miles to get a skin graft after a tumor removal just below the hock on his hind leg. All the stitches pulled out on day five, leaving a three inch long open wound. I poured honey onto the wound daily and applied fresh dressings. Captain became very good about holding still for this and not chewing off the bandages, tho at first it was a terrific struggle with nobody to hold him. After one week the speed in which that open wound drew together was phenomenal. I would highly recommend raw honey for any open wound. I carry it in my wilderness survival kit.
