try the closest vet clinic. a small town clinic would be your best bet.

Staples will not work. Just need the glue

Should have been clearer in my response.....curious as to the use of surgical glue over staples? Staples for the big stuff and glue to the smaller cuts? How big of a wound can you close up with the glue?

Super Glue. Vet told me they were about the same. Surgical has color in it to see what you are glueing. Glue for small cuts and staples for larger cuts and tears in moving areas of the dogs.

I think you can use glue for more than small cuts. I had a vet do a AI breeding where there was about a 4 inch incision on the belly, glue was used.

Think of a "V" notch in the bottom of the ear. Like a scab you keep picking, it never heals. I just need something to cover the wound so when the knuckle-head shakes his head it doesn't break open again.

I'll try the superglue. Does it eventually come off somehow?

I'll bet you almost anything there was at least 2 layers of sutures underneath that glue. :)

I thought skin glue was "water-proof" and superglue was water soluble?!?!?!?! If true, wouldn't the superglue come undone in a short amount of time is the wound was wet from the outside or inside?

Usually takes Acetone to remove SuperGlue, don't know what is used on SkinGlue.

Whatever you decide, make sure you thoroughly flush the wound first. Sealing in a bit of bacteria can start a nasty infection.

The best super glue to use is the "gel." it's thicker and easier to apply.

I've never used it on the dogs that I remember, but I've superglued myself before. It doesn't wash off with water. Just comes off with time.

They used glue when they replaced both of my hips.

Now I'm wondering how they decide what to use... I've been wanting to pick up a stapler to add to my glue and sutures I carry.

My dad'd knees were stapled when they were done. I'm positive because we had a few spirited debates over them. In the end he won, and I didn't take them out.
