HopeForHounds Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Our Vet confirmed that Jake had a corn on his front foot. Since it was on the front edge of the pad and wasn`t causing him any discomfort I opted to give Bee Propolis a try. Today we used the last capsule and when I looked, with a magnifying glass, I couldn`t find the corn. Nothing, no trace. To be honest, I am not sure which of his two middle left toes it was on but it is gone! Since we are dealing with the unexplained swelling and limping, I see this as a major victory!

Guest greydogluvr Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Amazing. That is super!!! How long did the treatment take. Is it topical? I need some. Willie has corns on his three remaining feet. This is my first experience with them. He never had them before his amputation and I want them gone.

Hugs for a limp free boy I started giving him the Bee Propolis sometime near the end of Jan. We finished a bottle of 100. Obviously there were some missed doses, as my DH only remembers the fish oil. :rolleyes I give it with every meal when I feed them. I got the capsules and dropped one 500 mg cap in his food. I did notice about a month ago that it was a lot smaller and more defined looking. Editing to add that I just can`t get over how much Willie looks like Jake. They could be brothers. Whats his racing name Edited April 12, 2009 by foxysmom Quote Casual Bling & Hope for HoundsJanet & the hounds Maggie and Allen Missing my baby girl Peanut, old soul Jake, quirky Jet, Mama Grandy and my old Diva Miz Foxy; my angel, my inspiration.

Guest longdogs Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Was it used internally or externally? As a beekeeper I am intrigued. Propolis is a mixture of resins, sap, waxes etc collected from plants by bees as a general purpose glue and construction material, so its constituents differ regionally and seasonally. It can be a nuisance and also frequently causes dermatitis. Other than being sticky and with slight antiseptic properties (like many plant resins) so possibly useful externally for minor wounds, how is it supposed to work? If ingested, my best guess is it would pass straight through like most of the materials it is made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeForHounds Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 You can get different forms, topical and internal. I chose the caps for convenience. I`ve known some others use it and have had mixed success.

Whats his racing name Thanks for the info. Willie's racing name is Rapid Freddie. Wouldn't that be great if they were related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve known some others use it and have had mixed success. Here is one of the web sites I found about it`s benefits Bee Propolis Hi... I am new here. I have a grey with a persistent corn. I tried Abreva for a while... it's expensive and I don't think it did anything. After reading about propolis on a list serve and consulting with our vet, I purchased a tube of aloe and propolis. Today I started to apply it externally to his corn. Does it work externally? I saw a lot of dietary supplements, but I wasn't sure it would work on a corn. I also hesitate to give things internally. Thanks in advance for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
