~Thanks everybody for getting back to me so quickly. I think I'll use unwaxed dental floss this time, and go ahead and order the hemostats for later. I am thinking that if I did order hemostats for this litter, they might not arrive in time. Tomorrow on my way to work, will stop by Walgreens and get white iodine and floss. After reading all your posts, I don't think I'm so scared now, but still nervous about it. I looked at Debbie Jensen's pics on her website and it all makes sense to me. Thanks again!!
