I haven't read all the posts--but I keep liquid bandage spray in my dog first aid kit (which consists of SIX plastic shoe boxes--gauze, vet wrap, caths, scalpel blades, all kinds of stuff). That is also the "human" first aid kit. Each shoe box is labeled--if only I could be so organized in all areas of my life. I did read the post on salt. I have used sugar for paper cuts and for cuts that start to get infected.
Isabelle, one of the Saints, had her legs brutally bitten (3 drains) in a dog fight. I could see the bone on one of the gashes. Anyway, after the drains were put in, I had to clean her legs 2x a day and re-wrap them. How did I clean them? With Hydrogen Peroxide and then the wounds were packed with sugar. The molecular properties of sugar breaks down bacteria. My vet uses this all the time. Honey works just as well. Isabelle did not get infections and the wounds healed. And, she wasn't put on antibiotics. Sugar definitely works for paper cuts--the cut heals in about 4 hours.
