What about baby oil?

I’m glad others answered this already.
I am curious about olive oil or other neutral cooking oil. Brand new, as in never been used to fry and then stored. Or shea or cocoa butter. The actual butter, not mixed with anything.

I'll assume this pause in your posts means you're busy flushing the wound for five minutes.

Next, you need to find something to put on the raw wound to seal it from new bacteria. The best would be an anitbiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Triple antibiotic salve. If your house doesn't have either of those, look for honey or coconut oil. These are both naturally antibiotic and can provide a film against bacteria and help keep the tissue moist.

Rule#1- Never let the wound dry out.
Rule#2- Never let the wound dry out.
Rule#3- Never let the wound dry out.

The coconut oil and honey were mentioned for their antibacterial properties. Other oils, like baby oil, Vaseline, and olive oil should not be used because they contain zero antibacterial properties and would almost certainly promote the growth of any bacteria in/on the wound.

Gotcha. I know honey is good, but coconut oil i thought was mentioned to keep the wound moist. So i was thinking of other options for her that she may have on hand already.

I'm so sorry. I hope he gets better and you can get him what he needs

The immediate crisis is over. So, you can take your time getting the car started. Relax.

The important thing right now is to use the ointment you have on the wound to seal it from moisture loss and bacteria.

Let Clover rest then, but be sure he has lots of water to drink. He will be dehydrated. Put a teaspoon of sugar into his water with a tiny pinch of salt and baking soda. This will treat him for shock.

Yes, you can take a few minutes. Try to get your car to start, or call someone.
I really am glad he made it through the night. I was so worried he wouldn’t.

Take a few minutes to just breathe. Everything will be okay. Apply the Terramycin ointment and try your car again after you take 5 minutes for yourself.
