I am wondering if you do both
A few years back I had a rattlesnake bit cat. After the necrotic tissue fell away, I kept applying manuka honey. Within 48 hours all new tissue was built (out of thin air) and it was a miracle. The hole was so big you could have put a thick cut pork chop in the cavity. The vet had to staple the skin back together (26 staples). She was astonished at the cat’s recovery. And she does not astonish very easily.
Sister K, you might find my reply #16 of interest. :-)
Wow!
