DocsDoctor Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Not quite what you are asking, but I find culinary cornflour* an effective styptic for hounds and humans alike. Just put a little in a saucer, and dab onto the wound/ nail. Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.

PatricksMom Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Not to sound like a weirdo, but I try all the dog's first aid products on me or DH, partially so we know if they hurt, partially because we never bother with first aid supplies for anyone but our boys. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.
