Medical grade honey

[wellington]

Has anyone used this or heard of it?
I just watched Wild Life Doc's on TV. They worked on a couple turtles that had infections, one shell rot. After they cleaned the out the infection/wound they packed it with what looked like gauze that was saturated with the Medical Grade Honey and then wrapped the edges of the honey coated gauze to keep it in place.

I've never used it, but have heard about it. Here's a link:

I've used it before on a guinea pig. I can't quite remember the problem, but it worked a treat

I have never heard of this being used before that I can think of. It sounds like a really good thing to have on hand. the show I seen it on, they made it sound like this honey makes things heel quicker too. I will be ordering some soon.

We were given medical grade honey when my cat had a huge open wound that was too large to close surgically. Between hydrotherapy and application of the honey, his wound closed and he has zero scarring, not even a bald spot.

The Sulcata rammed thread Yvonne just posted (op is exotic dr) references the medical honey and some of it's use.
