Small Scratch...so Much Blood!

I gave my little daschund Maggie a bath an hour or so ago. Her favorite thing to do after one is run and run and run. Well we have a new addition to the family, a 16 week old kitten who freaked out and gave a swipe as she ran past him. Maggie now has a tiny scratch on her ear. And I have blood literally all over the house. After going through half a roll of paper towels, two dishtowels and soaking my shirt it has finally stopped with the aid of pressure and some flour. However my floors, carpet, couch and chair are covered in droplets of blood. Thankfully I keep covers on the furniture (now in the washing machine) but some soaked through and her romping moved others over so the couch was exposed. Any ideas how I can get the blood off my couch and carpet? If I let it sit until tomorrow when I can pick up a shampooer will it still come out?

She is fine, never even yelped but kind of annoyed that she had to go back into the sink to try and rinse some of the blood off. Her shaking off after of course started the flow again so for now I will live with a black brown and pink dog.

Keep the spots on the carpet wet by placing a thick plastic on top with a weight to hold it there.  If you can pretreat the spots, I would do it.

 

Wow!  All in a day's work.

Usually, cold water takes fresh blood off very well.

Thanks I will try straight cold water first and see if that does the trick. If it doesn't then I will try to keep everything wet until I get out of work tomorrow. I can't believe how much a little scratch I can't even see can bleed!

In our vet clinic we use cold water and then mix hydrogen peroxide - however it can bleach so be careful. We don't really worry much about bleach stains though - you may. :)

I once clipped my yorkies nail too short.  Dang, the blood wouldn't stop coming.  The little guy mush have jumped on every piece of furniture in the house..  I used cold water.  Worked just fine.  Good luck.

I use a spot/stain pretreater from the brand Ecover, it comes in a little bottle

with a brush applicator, it's some kind of enzyme treatment. I'd try that before

shelling out for a shampooer rental, it's always gotten blood out of clothes for

me, even ridiculous amounts.

Thanks everyone. The cold water did work on the couch and carpet. So much blood from that little scratch. My house looked like a crime scene and  I am still finding blood drops on walls, my kitchen tv etc.  LOL  Every time she shook her head the blood would start to flow again.  Saw some advice on line to use flour and wrap her ear to her head. Of course I had no gauze so we improvised with a bandana.

Guess this is why we don't see dogs with pierced ears.

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
