Gluing a wound?

[binka_nugget]

Yikes.. I couldn't do the stapler thing. If it was *that* bad, I'd have no problem going to a vet.. it's just wound, after wound, after wound with her, I have to start asking myself whether she *really* needs to go this time.

I found this great page regarding superglue on wounds: http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com...superglue.html

I flushed out the wound with water and superglued the surface. Looks good, and is holding really well so far. I'll update this for reference when I see how the healing is progressing.

You can buy the same glue they use in hospitals for small cuts on your dog, it's available at all drugstores - goes by the name of Second Skin. Don't know how the superglue would work versus infections...

I asked one of good friends, who also happened to be my vet, that same question once.

He told me, strictly "off the record, you didn't hear it from me", that there is absolutely nothing wrong with putting superglue on a minor wound.
