Dog's paw bleeding..... (2 Viewers)

[rusty_tlc]

This is an OTC superglue. It works great, no pain no burning. I get really bad cracks in my hands during the dry winter months and use this stuff all the time. I have closed some fairly big gashes with it as well.
I see no reason it wouldn't work for dogs. Probably better than steptic powder.

BTW never dip a claw directly into the powder unless you want to give your dog an infection. The reason stsptic penciles went out of vouge was the fact that they retain bacteria which can lead to infection.

I'd like to see any one of YOU guys do the same: wrangle an 85-pound STRONG and WILLFUL pit bull / rhodesian ridgeback, who is injured and in pain and scared out of his mind, into a sheet and then a sack and then duct tape it twice (round neck and round chest) without getting seriously injured.


Rufus will NOT bite. No matter what. His being a pit mix, and me being concerned over legal issues, I made that perfectly clear to him, as a young 'un. "NO BITE!" means EXACTLY THAT!!

Y'know... I think I have heard that, before. But I was just repeating the directions on the side of the jar of stuff I've got here.


You may be right, tho, Rusty.

Ears... faces... paws... all bleed unbelievably!


My dumbass pit bull / rhodesian ridgeback mix, Rufus, ran thru the kitchen French door into a snowstorm last winter (he's only got one - his left - eye) - we think he was confused or blinded by the whiteoout condition, and he required 30 stitches in his damn face, after running right thru the glass and wood.


Yeah, he made me have to drive out into a whiteout-condition blizzard to take him 27-some miles to the only open emergency vet clinic in several nearby counties... AND he cost me around $3K..... AND I then got home to have to clean up all the bloody mess, too. And have to clean the glass and wooden shards the next morning.

He bled UNBELIEVABLY!


I forced his dumbass head into a large coffee sack, after dropping a softer old sheet over his face, and duct-taped that fxxxer around his neck and chest so he wouldn't stain the interior of my 80.


The vet on call damn near pissed himself laughing at the sight of me trying to get the dog out of my rig.

He (the doc) came out to help me...

We had a dog who got his tail bobbed by getting it caught in a car door. One day, not to long after, when I came home he was so happy to see me he started wagging his tail a mile a minute, hit the kitchen table leg and broke open the scab. Talk about a scean from a horrer flick, he painted that kitchen.

OMG!


Sound like something Rufus would do.


Not my GR8 dog, Midnight...

but Rufus, yeah.

BAH! I still say use the super glue. No use running around town trying to find something(styptic powder or Nexcare polymer) that is only sold in specialized stores. You can find super glue anywhere. Grocery store, drug store, gas station, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, Staples, Office Depot etc... It's everywhere and much more readily available. Cheaper too.

If it was good enough and saved the lives of Vietnam soldiers who's guts were spilled out over many a M.A.S.H tent operating table, I think it can handle you or your dog's wittle boo-boo. Teach your puppy to be a dog!

Just keep it packed with common ole talcum powder!

Do you have any sources that say this is a good idea. I've never heard of it and I've searched and searched the web since you posted and I can't find a thing. The closest thing I've found to a reference using talcum powder is with a cut caused by a shaving nick. Other references involve hemorroids/rectal bleeding, keeping the privates "fresh," haircuts, etc. Nothing about an open and bleeding wound.

Thanks for all the info. I put her in the kennel and it stopped bleeding as soon as she wasnt running around. I'm going to try out the 3m stuff tonight and see how she does with it.

Super glue... x's 10

If the dog starts whimpering (from oh no being to hot) Punch him in the head and he'll shut right up.

Nexcare ain't gonna work since it's "for painful skin cracks to promote healing of dry, cracked skin on fingers, hands, feet and elbows" and not cuts and wounds, but...whatever.

Another good article by The Straight Dope on using super glue as sutures:
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msuperglue.html

It even brings up the "concerns" of skin irritation and burning, but I've used super glue at least 15 times to avoid trips to the ER and I didn't feel the "burning." The "burning" and "skin irritation" hasn't stopped super glue from being the most popular remedy in this thread. But do what you want.

When I used to hunt pigs when the dogs got a rip or some puncture wounds we would put household bleach on it or if we had to wrap it up Boric Acid Powder as infection starts fast in the tropics. Then follow it up with Betadine. Same treatment for ourself.Most the time a bandage on the foot or leg a dog will pull it off anyway. cheers
