   Hi- I haven't gotten on this newsgroup for years (literally..); I can't 
remember if I posted back when I had a cow who sustained a ghastly teat 
injury which I wasn't able to get sutured in time- I did twice daily wound 
care for 6 weeks. I used the standard antibiotic preps for cattle- BUT- also 
made a comfrey preparation- comfrey chopped ultimately fine in the food 
processor, I think it was- kept it refrigerated- and used it as a wound 
dressing for about 2 weeks- I believe that I did see some encouraging 
results in the nature of quicker development of healthy tissue. But as I 
kept having to work to avoid any infection and the comfrey prep was not 
sterile, I finally stopped using it. I had heard that one of the risks using 
comfrey because it *does* accelerate wound healing is that healthy tissue 
will grow quickly and seal in an area of infection- as the wound edges were 
coming together I saw a risk of this happening, so I stopped.

   Nice to see you all are still around.. lw
