Green Clay has excellent drawing properties so can be used for drying up wet eczema and hot spots and helping control infection in wounds and abscesses. Green Clay is so versatile and can be used for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and other livestock. It forms a protective layer over injuries and also naturally repels insects. I have found when treating horses and livestock that are troubled by flies, a drop of tea tree or lavender essential oil into the wet clay can further aid in repelling flies away from the treated area.
It has a calming and soothing effect on a dog’s itchy or traumatized skin, breaking the itch, scratch cycle. It is completely safe should your dog accidentally lick or consume it. The clay’s perfect partner in dealing with wounds, sores, and fragile skin is Leucillin, they complement each other brilliantly. Leucillin is available on the shop in several sizes to suit all needs.
Green clay can be made into a thick paste with a little water and spread onto the affected area. This acts as a protective barrier for sore or fragile wounds and as the clay dries, moisture is drawn away from any wet areas of skin.
If used dry, it can be applied with a clean cotton ball and dusted onto the area or with a small, clean brush. This is particularly useful for instantly calming an inflamed area or itchy rash. Click here to view it on our product page: https://www.hedgerowhounds.co.uk/products/green-clay
For infected areas or those that are oozing the area should be cleaned in between applications. An excellent product for this is Leucillin antiseptic spray or dropper bottle, which you can view and buy here: https://www.hedgerowhounds.co.uk/products/leucillin-antiseptic-spray
This product should not replace veterinary treatment if it is needed or if serious infection is present in a wound.
