        I have a 4-week old kitten that has a broken hind leg.  The vet mentioned there isn’t much that can be done, that kittens usually heal broken bones well on their own.  I was wondering if it was safe to give her comfrey tincture in some milk, for some extra help?  Thanks!

          I don’t usually use comfrey internally in really small/young critters. If you could do it topically that’d be better.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
