Hi all,

Thanks for your replies, and yes Julie-Anne, it is capillary sealant! .. I had tried putting the word 'seal' into search and found it that way.... I was hoping for a name a little more exciting really!

We got it in our delivery today so we can all stop scratching our heads now!

Cheers!

I ordered some from NVS but can't for the life of me remember what it came under, it was something really simple but I ended up phoning them.

Edit: I've JUST remembered as soon as I posted that, LOL. It was capillary sealant, I believe

capseal comes in a bit cheaper and if you cover it each time you use it with a strip of selotape to stop it drying out it lasts for years

It's funny, those little things I never thought to ask...bit embarrassing but I had *no* idea whatsoever! Some vet I am!

Ours is Crit-o-seal but not from NVS - I don't think the wholesalers stock it. We get ours direct from the lab.
