How do I use hibiscrub?
I have bought some hibiscrub as three days after stepping on glass, Takara is still on three legs... and I think it'll be useful for future problems too.unfortunately I don't have a clue how to use it so what strength do I dilute it to? 5ml and 25ml are mentioned for different purposes on the bottle but it also says about not using in body cavities... is it ok to put in wounds?
Thanks

I would check with the vet, because when my Labrador had a "hot-spot" on his head, the vet said that hibiscrub would be too harsh and gave me Pethodine to use.
I know that Mick's head is a lot different to an open wound like Takara has, but you don't want to do more harm than good if it "smarts" when it gets into an open wound.
Kind regards
Jill

The times I've used it has normally been for cleaning operation wounds or if Tylers grass allergy flares up and his skin gets infected. All other wounds I use salt water.

I've cleaned it and cleaned it and I've covered it regularly in liverine unction but, although it does look slightly better she's still moving on three legs and nearly falls over when she walks...
Should we just see a vet?

Lottie, I think you should, she may still have glass embedded in her foot, the vets can give her an anaesthetic and poke about in it to check.

I'd hate for it to affect her long term. She's only 18 months old. I'm gonna give them a bell now. I might be able to get in this afternoon of maybe tomorrow...
By the way - will insurance cover the cost - even if it's just a consultation fee?

If you have no excess, then yep!
Or if you have an excess, and the vets cost more, then yep
