Never noticed a weight loss.....and I do weigh twice a day for the first month.....I do cover with liquid bandage, just to protect against infection...

I bought hemostats, is there something smaller to clamp with? The poor little things were trying to get away and everytime I lost my grip it hurt them to drag the hemostat. It did seem to numb quickly but they still kept trying to get away from me.

The liquid banage, is it the stuff for humans or is there some for doggies?
