I either use the shredding method myself with betadine or let the moms do it. My concern with the moms sometimes is biting it off too close to the tummy. I do keep the floss on hand and do use it occasionally if needed. I however will check petedge also for the new clotting gel. That sounds very interesting. See there are things in most links here in which we can all take away something new. Never quit researching, learning, and sharing. It is a constant learning process. Appreciate your sharing.
