How to dress a dog's wound

Two days ago, when my dogs were happily trolling inside our house and I was happily watching Disney channel 'cuz Phineas & Ferb was airing :D :D, all of a sudden there was blood all over the floor. I was like "OMG" then I know that moment it came from one of the dogs. So I checked out their behind, negative! No super heavy menstruation. Then I checked Rosie's cyst on her tummy because her nipple (wow I check on awkward places :|) has blood discharges -- negative! Then there was a drop of blood I SAW WHERE IT CAME FROM! Her hind leg!

I swear I don't know where she got it even if I asked her she'd stare a t me 24/7, 365. So I cleaned it with betadine & tried to compress it using gauze, though the gauze was only 2x2. Well that's the only one I have, better something than nothing.

BUT

The next day she used that wounded leg to scratch so tah-dah boom beybeh blood here and there! I used cotton this time BECAUSE I do not have gauze anymore.

HOWEVER

It didn't hold up 'till last night.

SO

Me and my mama panic like hell XD I applied betadine, fucidine and mama wrapped it with cloth then 1 2 3 4 5 minutes drip drop drip drop DRIP! Fukin' blood.

LOL

My mom looked for gauze "it must be gauze" lol
But there was none. So she went to my room grab whatever there. She came to me holding up a pantiliner O_o

The fuck XDD
I'mma laugh now
But really! It was brilliant! It's absorbable it has, double sided like tape to lock it & it is adjustable

XD

REALLY

Top it with cloth for extra security & success! XDD
It last! Hahahaha
Pantiliner
Who could have thought a simple thing would be helpful XDD

SERIOUSLY

That was resourceful
Proud of mama

You're saved my dear dog :D Got to buy you Whisper, or Charmee... which one d'you like? LOL.

New way of CPR


There's a new way on how to perform CPR according to what I've read in Yahoo! [link]

We were taught that before performing chest compressions, we should do 3 things first: Check if the location is safe, check pulse and breathing.

"The AHA asserts that people having a heart attack still have oxygen remaining in their lungs and bloodstream in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. Starting chest compressions first thing pumps blood to the victim's brain and heart sooner, delivering needed oxygen. This new method saves the 30 seconds that people performing CPR used to take to open the airway and begin breathing under the old guidelines."

That makes sense. But I think that the first reaction of people will be checking for the pulse and feel for their breathing. There are even times wherein instead of assisting the patient, bystanders or people with them would do panic screams first @_@ Can't be helped.

Nevertheless, telling this idea to the public will make people understand that "Hey, you can do compressions right away" -- at least they know the importance of doing chest compressions right away. It reduces anxiety :3

Gargle with Salt Water

Gargling with salt water really helps relieve swollen throats.
I've read about it in google.
It's all about osmosis and:


salt water helps in two ways: it draws moistre out of any bacteria who have set up shop there, and it draws moisture out of your own swollen tissues,
relieving inflammation

Really my sore throat's pain have gone from 4/10 to 1/10 after 3 gargles within 24 hours XD So gargle at the first painful sensation :D Don't let those bacteria's STAY there too long.
