It works but...

Vetbond works to seal my splitting thumbs in dry winter air. Vetbond is not as strong or durable as generic gel-thickness non-medical cyano-acrylate (CA) glue. I used gel-type CA before I tried the Vetbond. The Vetbond goes on thinly, perhaps that is why it is more flexible, but the bond doesn't last as long as the gel CA. The long thin Vetbond applicators are convenient - remember to wick out the remainder on some paper if you want to reuse them. There was a slight problem with the Vetbond spout that popped off - it should be better secured to the vial. I don't know if there are special health risks or nasty additives in the gel CA, but Vetbond is based on similar glue components, and my thumbs are in better shape when I use either glue. Of course generic CA is very cheap compared to Vetbond. Also Vetbond dries a lot faster than gel CA. I think either glue works pretty well on hangnails.
In general, I prefer generic gel CA.

great stuff!

this is the same stuff used by the human industry. It is stitches for the skin without the use of needles. Be aware it burns when you apply it, but it will hold together most minor wounds less than a 1/2 in deep that otherwise might need a stitch or two. It alsotends to stop bleeding fairly quickly. It is, in short, skin super glue. Be careful, if it gets on areas of the body you didnt intend, it will stick to anything! If bleeding continues or inflammation persists for more than 48hrs seek professional help from a dr or vet.
