Thanks for all the kind well wishes for Taffy. Truth is, she never slowed down a beat. Evidently she has an iron stomach. Except for throwing up (which she did and kept on playing for the most part), you'd never have known anything was wrong. Of course, thankfully I got to it before it was absorbed into her system.
As far as the medicine dropper...I do have one here but the emergency vet said give a tablespoon and I just went the country way...
I got a tablespoon out of the drawer, poured the peroxide in it and while my husband held her, I pried her mouth open and poured it down. I didn't give her a chance to do anything but swallow it. (Of course, my husband said I got as much on him as I did in her so I put a bit more down her.)
Then (I promise I'm not making this up!) the little toot licked her lips like she enjoyed it! This from the Yorkie who doesn't like commercial treats! Not only does she have an iron stomach, she has the strangest tastes.
To the poster upline...I've never heard that about grout but how interesting. If I can get into my Suzy homemaker mode (I try to avoid it), I may try that!
To the poster who didn't know what it is and the one who said it's been found to retard healing... When I was growing up (late 50's, 60's) we went through bottles of this during the summer due to bicycle wrecks and gravel roads! It was the only medicine that would stop the tears because we would get so interested in watching it bubble as it hit the injury. Plus, it didn't sting like alcohol! |
