dangergirl 13 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 My whippet has got a tear on his leg, is it o.k to use super glue to seal it? Ive heard of it being used before. The tear is about 1 inch. DG Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRD 3 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 A good friend on mine once said to me that he uses Creasote (the fence preserv) on his dogs cuts! After I nearly pissed my self with lafter I thought why would he say that? must be some method in his madness? MRD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I may be wrong but i think if you do use it on a wound, you are meant to leave a hole at the lowest end to allow any fluid to drain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

osimons89 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 its good and works on me so dont see why not be carefull if there is any infection it just seels it in and can lead to bigger problems as it will have to be reopend and thats not easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
