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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
