Aloe Helps Wounds Heal Faster

I just wanted to share another use of the aloe with you. I normally put a slice of aloe gel in the container of drinking water for my dogs.

Well, recently one of my dogs had an urgent operation and you know how dogs are – licking, grooming themselves and it seemed that after a couple of days he somehow ripped out the stitches and was left with an open wound.

I called in the vet and he came that same morning and performed a little surgery on my pet. Do you know what he asked me for after the operation? Some aloe, yes, aloe vera – he said that it would help the cut to heal faster, and not only that but, with aloe on the area dogs don’t really trouble the wound because they don’t like the taste. But I argued that my dogs are accustomed to having aloe in their water so it may not work.

This is what he did – after stitching the wound, he applied the purple lotion, smeared aloe gel all over the wound and surrounding area, then sprinkled it with wound powder.

Of course, it worked. Two days later the swelling had disappeared and it was healing nicely. It seemed to me that the aloe minimized the itching also as my pup didn’t try to scratch it. A week later you wondered “what cut”? “where”?

There you have it, another aloe episode.
