Now, where do I get the salve/boilese, and how should we apply the peroxide? I just swabbed the puncture with a peroxide soaked cotton ball.
Swab peroxide as you have been doing. If you don't have any on hand get some s/steel surgical blades. Great item to have. You can lance a boil or other growth on a pet to allow drainage. We needed to do it to one pup years ago. Then follow correct sanitary procedures for wound clean & maintaining. A growth / tumor at the vet gets lanced and drained. No reason why you cannot do it at home, to save a few $ $ $ $
Hopefully you wil not need on any family members, still nice to have. You might be surprised, once on hand how many times you access them.
