One a.m. this week she awoke with the elephant. I had been treating Arielle's finger. I had washed my hands. But Ichthammol smells like coal or tar and looks like it too. I hugged Stacia and told her good a.m.
She sniffed, looked at me, looked at her elephant and said, "Huh! My elephant STINKS!" ::snort::
Online they say there is "no reason for it to work"....but Arielle's finer was hard, swollen, red, and green....and the doc's said they could see her Wed. Tuesday night I put this stuff on it..... Wed a.m. the finger was open and draining....and it's only gotten better. I read online that it is good for boils. Some of our kids have suffered with boils. I plan to get them some....
After all, if it will "hep my goat" it has to be good for me too. ::snort:: What about the rest of you? Have you seen this before? Is it only a NE thing?

Never heard of it. Kind of funny (given your description of the smell) that the name starts with "ick"!
But if it works, GREAT!

Haven't seen that but if it's a drawing salve it should work. We have other vet medicines that we use (for croup,etc) and Absorbine is still great liniment! Will have to get some...
ps-- there's so many alternative meds out there that "have no reason to work" but do... homeopathy, vet stuff, essential oils,mountain medicine such as onion poltices,etc so it doesn't surprise me!
last thought.... you might be able to find it at your local feed/farm & ranch supply store to stock up on or something very similar. I'm gonna check ours...
Never heard of it. Glad it worked!
Never heard of it either but good that it worked.
