Summary
Information about plant cures for animals.
There were no vets in Islay when the contributor was young. People had their own cures. Luibh nan trì bheann was boiled down and used as a remedy, but it wasn't very effective. A shepherd told the contributor how luibh nan dearca-fithich was used to cure ringworm. Information about a plant found around Kintra that was used to make a poultice for horses' legs.
