Now I'm confused. My regular vet suggested Vaseline a while back. I thought he was loopy, he said if I felt better about using mineral oil... to use that instead. Which is what I did. Later when Bugsy had his surgery (TPO) and proceeded to eat the plastic sticky thing they covered his incisions with, I gave him mineral oil & rushed him to the DMV. While there, I mentioned that I had already given him mineral oil &
that vet said I should have given him Vaseline instead... because it wouldn't give him the runs.
Back to square one
I'd love to hear everyone else's opinion on this.
