Super Glue on wound? *Edit* Buddy's stitches are OUT!!

[crow_noir]

Poor Buddy.

I hope that Green Hope Farm stuff works. If it doesn't i HIGHLY suggest some lavender oil applied directly to his chest. I seen it work wonders on a highly stressed puppy.

I wonder if a degaussing strip would work. (It's something electricians use when working on sensitive equipment. It would have to be grounded to something though and the strap I think would have to be touching some of Buddy's skin. I figure if it's sensitive enough to stop motherboard from getting fried by minuscule amounts of static we don't even see, it might help for pets.)

Degaussing Strip - aka "Anti-Static Wrist Band" ~

A device worn by Electronics Workers who handle ultru-sensitive electronic assemblies.
Two or three problems for a Dawg >>>

* Would have to shave the fur off an area of the wrist or leg
* Would have to connect the conductive wrist band to a good "ground" - with a wire
* Fido prolly would NOT like being "wired to the wall"
* Not so safe during a Lightning & Thunder storm!

When I worked for IBM, the folks who handled senstive components, cards, and boards
HAD to wear "Anti-Static Wrist Bands" when working at their benches ...
but had to STOP working and REMOVE the wrist bands whenever a storm was
reported near the Plant.

Favorite trick was if someone spotted the sun slip behind a cloud, they'd
holler "I think I heard THUNDER!" ...

Wrist Bands *flew off* and the Manager dashed to a window to "check"!

YIKES!!!! I didn't know that about the storms!

ABANDON the DEGAUSSING STRIP IDEA for Buddy!!!!

Hey, I wonder if attaching it to one of those grounding strips would work You know... the ones that are supposed to keep your computer safe in storms. (So far ours has... thank goodness... because we get a LOT of power surges here.) Ah HA that's what it's called... Surge suppressor.

(please don't take me seriously... I don't think hooking up a dog to something plugged into the wall is a good idea... if it's not the intended purpose of the equipment.)

Alright then... I won't "plug him in" when a storm is about to hit!
Thanks Crow and Phred for the info!

Last night I was having a few beers on the patio and he knocked a beer bottle over and glass went all over the place. He took one look at the glass on the ground, looked at me and walked the other way like he was saying "Been there, done that.. not doing it again"

The area of his stitches is looking a little irritated. I think it must be itching or bugging him because out of nowhere he tore off 2 bandages yesterday. That is NOT like him! So I glopped a bunch of Neosporin on him and wrapped him up again this morning before leaving for work and sprayed apple bitter on his bandages.

I don't think I've replied but I have been keeping an eye on this thread Angie.
I'm glad to hear that he didn't step into the broken glass again, but Buddy...leave that owie alone so it can get better

[crow_noir]

Maybe you should buy the beer that comes in the plastic bottles

Seriously though... glad he learned his lesson. Poor guy. *scritchies*

Oh i hope the wound isn't infected.

Oh yeah!! I just saw them in the store the other day!! Great idea!! Even better because the plastic bottles are 16oz instead of 12oz!! More beer for me and no glass to break!! It would be better for everyone.

His wound is not looking as good as I would like it to.
Half of it has healed up nicely and is staying closed, but the other half is still open and I can clearly see that the stitch is almost torn out all the way. When I change his bandage I can tell that it's been oozing. He's been on 1000mg of amoxicillin a day since Friday and I've been glopping the Neosporin on too. He's not favoring it at all, so I'd assume it doesn't hurt him or bother him.
Please say a little prayer for my Bud that his foot heals up and it's not infected.
Thanks!

Waaaaaait a second... you're not the one that has to clean up the house after his episodes! What are YOU cheering him on for?

Believe me.. he needs no encouragement to destory my house he does that just fine on his own! With help from his assistant Sierra.
