Many years ago we had a terrier dog that got shot by a neighbor in her right hip. Thankfully it only went under the skin and came back out like 3 inches away, so no serious internal damages, but the dog’s wounds kept bleeding and bleeding…
Dad couldn’t afford a vet, but I wasn’t gonna just let the dog bleed out either. I got out my soldering iron and cauterized the wounds myself until she quit bleeding. Yeah the dog didn’t like it much, nor did she like me very much afterwards, but I successfully stopped the bleeding and she ended up fully healing up with no problems.
Man, you would bring up cauterizing a wound…

Did she ever come back around on you? If only we could explain things to them haha
She was already a bit of a mean ass bitch even before that happened, probably half of why one of the neighbors shot her in the first place.
She did chill out a bit after all that though, but she never particularly liked me after that either.
Pretty sure a lot of solder is lead based, for anyone needing to replicate this make sure you thoroughly clean the soldering iron.
Yes I did do my best to clean the tip first.
Choose your battles in life, either leak out or take your chances…
Our dog Rosie totally survived, no complications, aside from her not exactly liking me much after that…
