Default Re: Help me help my dog

Thanks for all the advice folks. I used a sock and hair binder that was lying around. I don't think it was too tight. It's off now that she's sleeping. Wow she just farted loud, what a lady she is. Mario didn't take much interest in the sock and Coco gave up after her first inspection. Quite surprising. I'll post what the vet says tomorrow. Liquid bandage sounds like a good idea. I just had no idea what sort of medical treatments would be ok for dogs. You'd like to assume it wouldn't make a big deal so you decide to try neosporin and as you're on the phone with the vet she screams "WTF! You used Neosporin!" And I turn around and my dog is dead. I heard of onions killing a dog once, or at least leading to the disease that killed it. I figured sterile bandage and tape followed up by sock and hair binder were pretty safe bets.

We were the same way, but you'd be surprised what 'human' medicines you can give a dog. They can actually have pepto for upset stomachs, and childrens liquid or chewable tylenol to reduce pain when injured.

The liquid bandage will work well so I'd suggest picking some up. Our lab runs like crazy and our yard is fairly rocky so she's always cutting up her feet so we use that and neosporen.
