unwaxed dental floss how essential is it? cause i can't find it anywhere!!! any suitable substitutes??? |
i don't ever tie the cords off. Some people do and some don't. i know my first litter, I rushed out and bought the store out of whelping supplies and used very little of it. |
I do use unwaxed dental floss or styptic sticks heres the link for those: http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/produc...&pf_id=0027265 |
ok thanks! |
I've never used the floss either, I've never had to. I either shred the cord myself, with my nails, or I hold it and let mom do it. I have used sepic powder if there is bleeding but most of the time I use iodine. Petedge has a new clotting gel that comes in a syringe that has antimicrobial properties as well and I'm going to order that and use it on my next litter. Never use alcohol as it is an anticoagulate. |

I've never used floss. I clamp with a hemostat and then cut with dull scissors. I am also going to look for the clotting gel. I think it could be beneficial for many things. |
I could not find unwaxed dental floss when my pups were born either! Trust me, it is MORE trouble than it is worth anyway. I ended up using thick sewing thread and iodine. I am using something different next time. |
I've never used it either but found it at Rite Aid or Walgreens... |
cord Use a clamp and there is not need for tying it of...of course take the clamp off after a minute or so... |
Clamping works wonders...I do not like to put anything on their cord other then betadine. We will tie if needed so always have it on hand...but they generally fall off anyways...so we clamp it or a few minutes while we are getting the puppy dry! |
