Have to agree with the dsmo the stuff does to wonder for swollen or inflammed muscles and for open wounds or any wounds on any animal including myself I use a product called corona it works great on water fowl found out last summer when my two kayki campbells and about 18 chickens attacked by neighbors dog lost 3 of the chickens at attack time but any we found alive or injured are still living happily here. I also used red-kote but the corona seemed to stick better to there skin and feathers. All this and about 2 weeks in the front porch and as they progressed in getting better out to the yard and coop they went. The dog has been back once only to run into me and my 2 african geese and my westhighland terrier for some reason I see him the neighbors yard but he don't come over here anymore....
