A piece of wood, bone or other

remained in the wound

 

In this case, here's the story of this horse. Probably a big bite while grazing. The wound healed and closed nicely. BUT, after a while, a lump grew, getting bigger and bigger, until it burst and a lot of pus came out.

The veterinarian's diagnosis suggests that a piece of bone has become stuck in the flesh, unable to come out. He suggests surgery at the veterinary hospital, which is financially unfeasible for the owner. Desperate, she contacts me, asking if "my clay could help?"

I think so, without being sure, but we have nothing to lose by trying. That's what she did. Continuing of course the prescribed antibiotics, morning and evening she applied a clay poultice to the area in question (the shoulder). The bump grew bigger and bigger. She pierced it the first time but the debris did not come out with the liquid. She tried again and the second time the small bone debris actually came out at the same time as the pus. Happy End, the horse no longer had pain in its shoulder, healed completely and the lady was able to continue sharing her life with her horse.

The other case is that of Mouska

A beautiful mare who, during a grazing chicane, kicked a wooden fence, the board broke and, we learned later, a piece of wood was embedded quite deeply under the fetlock. She received veterinary care and medication, but she started limping again, an abscess was forming and pus was regularly coming out. The mare did not recover completely.

Here too, her owners decided to use clay, almost as a last resort. So they made a clay poultice morning and evening for many days until they finally discovered the piece of wood that had caused the mare so much pain.

The clay therefore helped to pull out the rotten wood debris that was encased in the flesh.
