Re: Abscess?

Sugar is good at drawing out swelling and edema... honey is good for infection... and actually, garlic is a natural antibiotic and I've used ground garlic topically on wounds even on the horses with success. Of course, they end up smelling like an italian kitchen... lol (Keeps the flies off them, too)

Hmm, so the garlic salt idea is not bad... lol!!!! Think how tasty he'll smell!!

I'd lean toward the eposom salts for their drawing power myself.
