Vet staples

[sam007 34]

Hi Guys

After my whippet x beddy ripped her shoulder last week and

a vet bill of £150 for a 2 inch stitch job I am looking into skin staplers

I understand how they are used but what do you do about

anaesthetic or is it not used .

Any info woukld be great

if used early enough you will be able to staple with very little if any discomfort to the dog just ensure you clean the wound properly first with hibi scrub or a simular product, salt water at the very least, you may need to clipper up around the area as it it will be easier to keep clean and you will be able to check for infection easier.

Staples tear out of the skin easily so you have to rest the dog after depending on where the wound is. If you staple wounds yourself make sure you get the right tool for removing staples later!

The CMW mag sells stapleguns i got one out of it great job but it needs to be done within couple of hours of being ripped. atb.

You can buy the stapler and staples off of Arthur carter,

when a long way from vets i have used the staples after cleaning the cut with hand gel and then purple spray but i then take the dog to the vets just for them to check the the wound they sell me anti inflam's and antibiotics and charge for consultation .PS if you get stapler you should have a staple remover.

I Have obtained a stapler from bootsha (from here)

but I am still concerned about the pain so I am thinking of using

the freeze spray that they use for body piercing

What I want to know is can this be sprayed on the wound.

in case some got on it.

Cheers

wouldnt worry about the pain , the dog wont feel any with a stapler .

Wash the wound out thoroughley with antiseptic wash, also make sure your hands are sanitised, push the wound together and staple they only just punture the skin and 9 out of 10 dogs wont even flinch, leave them in ten days then take them out with a proper remover, if the wound is in a place where the dog can bite at it put a buster collar on it, if its just a nick from wire or something else in the field I dont usually bother with antibiotics if its from tooth or claw I would use antibiotics. hope this helps

I wouldnt worry too much about the pain mate, its not that bad. I stabbed myself just above the knee Tuesday with a dirty shitty knife gutting rabbits, and Socks off here stuck 2 stitches in me after a quick glug of water. Jobs a good`un, healing well and chasing rabbits next day.

I'm gonna get Ken to come round and put a couple in our lasses lady garden....Or maybe just get him to sew a donkeys cock on me instead... .

He's a bit good with the needle and thread.
