Question for BeckyLetters?
about thermometers and dogs' bums...

We need to keep checking the dog's temperature so we will have some notice of when she'll whelp.

How do you sterilise the thermometer before and after?

can't boil it, don't want to bleach it... what do vets do? Don't have an autoclave...

So sensible and not so sensible ideas please

Not sure I should be sanctioning the licking of something that's been up a dog's arse, but I'm feeling fluffeh.

I like putting it in packets.

Surely some normal disinfectant for humans would work.
Perhaps Dettol?

Alternatively, this.

Why sterilize it?
It's just going in and out of the same dog, right? Why bother? But if you do insist, just keep a container of rubbing alcohol around and leave it in there between uses.

Because it might contaminate the cutlery.

Another alternative
might be a pint glass partly filled with vodka. Then when you're done you can make doggietinis.

Dogs like sniffing bums right?
Just give it to him to lick.

I forgot, there are plastic slips you can buy from the chemist that you put over them to protect them from fecal matter
they're a pain in the proverbial though and usually get sucked in instead which proves tricky to remove until they poop.
