Good wound care is mostly good habits. Here’s a simple plan for when Manuka honey helps, how to apply it cleanly, and how to bandage and monitor without turning the barn into a science project.
Gloves on. Rinse with clean water or vet-approved saline to remove dirt and hair. Pat gently—don’t scrub new tissue.
On clean tissue, spread a thin, even layer of Restore A Horse™ Manuka Honey across the wound bed and immediate margins.
Non-stick pad over the site, then soft wrap with even pressure. Keep edges sealed but not tight; avoid wrinkles.
Mark the date/time. Log drainage, odor, heat, and pain. Expect mild serum early; look for steady improvement.
Label note: For open wounds, stick to products appropriate for compromised skin. Avoid heat-producing topicals unless your veterinarian directs otherwise.

No. Deep punctures, eye/eyelid injuries, and suspected joint/tendon involvement are vet first. Use only on clean wounds as directed.
Thin, even film—just enough to coat the wound bed and immediate margins. More isn’t better.
Bandaging protects against contamination and motion; some upper-body abrasions may be managed open-air per your vet’s advice.
Milder cases often look cleaner within 48–72 hours. If things trend worse—or stall—call your veterinarian.
