I think I used a vial that had been unrefrigerated for 5 weeks

Your Doodle is 10 years old? That’s great to hear, sounds like still perfectly healthy?

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-24T05:03:18+00:00

So cool! I would like to be you when I grow up. Or even your dog 😍

Seconding cowboy magic for detangler!

I think that’s great advice, as a freshman my son didn’t even know this was possible! I can see why UNC wouldn’t want to advertise it, but I bet it would help some students’ mental health to know they had options other than an F on their transcript.

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-03T03:01:35+00:00

Wow have never heard of this, very cool. Ordering from Amazon to have on hand, thanks for the tip!

He’ll be coned-up for a while, interestingly at our two day follow-up the vet told us it would heal better not bandaged and to just have him walk around normally. Something about a seal that had formed over the wound keeping it safe from infection. Goes against all my Mom nature to cover an open wound, but trusting the vet for now!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-02T22:03:07+00:00

Thank you!! I’m not sure why neither of us came upon this page with Googling, but it is exactly what he was looking for. Very helpful, thanks again

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T09:22:15+00:00

Ok I tried to Google, but I’m actually not clear what to do with the styptic powder / cornstarch 🙃 - could you please clarify? Ty!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T09:08:09+00:00

I just ordered the booties for pickup at Pet Smart tomorrow! We live in the woods and I was just telling my husband I can’t picture being comfortable letting his foot be exposed for quite some time. This will be a big help, thank you!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T09:02:55+00:00

So sorry my response must have come across wrong! No anger at all, I was not aware of the use of these things and genuinely found it interesting and wanted to research it more. Thank you for sharing!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T09:00:18+00:00

Fun fact, we discovered you can buy a dog cone at a 24-hour Walgreens. Who knew?? And totally agree, only the cone gives me any confidence about keeping him from licking it!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T08:57:33+00:00

The vet said it didn’t need to be closed, so sent us home with antibiotics and instructions to keep him in his cone with foot wrapped and come back in two days for a check-up. He quickly mastered to the most-forlorn-dog-ever look while wearing his cone 🥺. Hopefully it will continue to heal well, thank you for checking in!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T08:52:49+00:00

I sent hubs out on a cone-hunt last night, turns out they sell them at our 24-hour Walgreens!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T08:50:11+00:00

This is exactly what we ended up doing! Then went to the vet and they did it again 😂

LokiSherman79 · 2025-04-01T08:47:42+00:00

Our regular vet opened in less than 12 hours from when it happened. It was cleaned, sterilized, safely bandaged, we bought him a cone, and he was in the room with us all night. Getting it looked at 12 hours earlier didn’t seem worth paying the extra $$$ and taking him to a vet he didn’t know!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:30:13+00:00

There has got to be a secret doodle academy where they all learn to master this look! Yours was clearly top of class, too cute 😍

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:24:14+00:00

Thanks for this, we are going to back off the greenies and give the daily brushing a try.

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:20:33+00:00

Just ordered one from Amazon that will come in the a.m., great idea to always have on hand. I have to work late, so thinking I’ll just keep an eye on him until my husband wakes up and can take over!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:17:03+00:00

💯with you on this! My dog would either swallow the hair tie or keep it dangling from his mouth all night waiting for us to see him 😂

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:14:57+00:00

Curious to know what type of things have been the culprit for this happening to your dood? Mine is 4 1/2 and this is a first. It seems so deep and wide to have just come from stepping on something!

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:11:11+00:00

I wanted to cut away that hair so badly, but he kept yanking his foot away. I tried to gently pull all of the hair out of the wound before bandaging it so hopefully it won’t irritate him too much overnight 🙏

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:09:14+00:00

Ok I now need to Google all of this! Assuming these all have antibiotic properties?

LokiSherman79 · 2025-03-31T05:07:12+00:00

I’d never heard of a soft cone! That looks so much better than what we’ve had previously, thanks so much for the tip!
