Corns

I have a greyhound who has suffered numerous corns and many operations to remove them, including toe removal.  I have discovered manuka oil seems to have cured the latest three corns.   I applied it twice a day to the corn and within two weeks the corn had turned to a powder and crumbled away.  

I purchased it off the internet. 10mls for £9.99.  It has to be the oil and not the honey.
