torchey 1,312 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi guys, havent posted for a while due to lots of college assignments and various sh1t going on so appologies for tht. As some of you may know I am at Sparsholt college doing a game and wildlife managment course My reason for the post is that me and a few mates frm my course signed up for a 3 hour a week course in animal first aid focusing on dogs, cats and ferrets and we had our first session today and i got the feeling we pissed off the lecturer a tad because we were discussing wound cleaning and dressing and through the whole 3 hours we were just telling her how any minor cuts to do with working dogs can be solved with superglue either temperarily or perminantly and she said its innapropriate. I have personally used it on my patterdale X border that I use for bushing and when ferreting on torn ears, cut pads and small skin tears on his back but was wondering how many of you guys use it and if not why you dont. Cheers. Jake Edited to add the lecturer is a fit as fcuk vetinary nurse haha Used it on dogs and myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tearem 31 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Very interesting. Never knew it. Will try it for that purpose next time out, when it appears to be safe to treat cuts. You've helped me out friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 3,179 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Its horses for courses, it all depends on the injury. Super glue works best for some things while staples are better for others. My lurcher bitch has given me a crash course in emergency first aid over the last few years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scalesntails 118 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Super glue was developed by the US military for sealing gunshot wounds. I once cut my hand down the bone across 4 fingers and super glue worked a treat. I always carry some and some alcohol wipes while out with the dogs just in case. Just never ever glue up a dirty wound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
