I was extremely nervous about cutting the cords. I hadn't had a litter in a while so I got nervous again this last time but it isn't hard with the advice that everyone has given you. Of course, my female let me do this and didn't try to interfere.
My question is . . . must the iodine be white? I used the dark one. Is it best to use white because the other one stains so bad?
Do make sure though that you use unwaxed dental floss. I made the mistake of using it this time and it slipped off but everything turned out ok.
I had a really hard time finding hemostats locally. I normally order several things from Revival at a time and I just needed those. I got them from a kid that used them when he went fishing. So if you prefer to avoid shipping charges see if you can find them at a bait and tackle place. |
