Use soap and warm water, lathering your hand for 20 seconds before rinsing. Use regular unscented soap to wash your hands. This will prevent any chemical irritants from exacerbating the blister site and prevent transmission of any bacteria from your hands to the fragile skin area once the blister is popped. Antiseptics such as betadine are available at most pharmacies. However be careful with betadine as it can temporarily stain the skin and can stain clothing and other surfaces. Gently pour the betadine or rubbing alcohol over the blister and surrounding area. If you are washing the site with soap and water, use a regular unscented soap, lather your hands, gently wash the affected area but be careful to not apply pressure so you do not pop the blister, and rinse well. It is best to use a single use, pre-packaged, sterile needle or scalpel blade, often found in pharmacies and medical supply stores. If you choose to use a sewing needle from home, soak it in rubbing alcohol first. Do not insert the needle or blade into a flame, which gives off carbon particles that would irritate the skin and possibly increase infection.

Summary: Wash your hands. Wash the blistered area with soap and water, rubbing alcohol, or antiseptic. Prepare the needle or blade.

Try to get one that is about 26 inches (66.04 centimeters) long. You can choose to include the heel, or cut it off. If you don't like mustard, then simply use more butter instead. Make sure that the butter is at room temperature, however; this will make it easier to spread. If you can't find any Dijon mustard, you can use regular mustard instead. For extra flavor, use salted butter. For extra flavor and crunch, you can add some slicked cornichons as well. This will "seal" the sandwich and help keep it together. Don't press down so hard that the crust cracks, however. If the sandwiches are not holding together, you can stick a sandwich/club frill toothpick down the center of each one. If you won't be eating them right away, you can wrap them up tightly with plastic wrap, and store them in the fridge for the next day.

Summary: Cut a baguette in half lengthwise using a serrated knife. Spread butter on one side of the baguette and the mustard on the other. Layer the ham and cheese on the bottom half of the baguette. Cover the sandwich with the top half of the baguette and press down on it lightly. Cut the sandwich into 4 to 8 equal-sized portions. Serve the sandwiches immediately.

Before putting your shoes in a washing machine, remove any harsh stains via spot cleaning. Dissolve a small amount of mild laundry detergent in a bowl of hot water. Dip a rag or sponge in the water. Wipe off any dirt, mud, or other noticeable stains. Hot water should only be used on Sanuks in small amounts. Do not submerge your Sanuks in hot water as this can cause damage. Before placing your Sanuks in a washing machine, wrap them up in some old towels. This will prevent them from banging around inside of the machine too much, preventing damage. It will also lead to a more quiet wash. Use cold water and a color safe detergent to wash your Sanuks. Use a gentle wash if one is offered on your machine. A cup of white vinegar or a few tablespoons of baking soda can help remove bacteria from your shoes. Make sure you're using the cold water setting. Hot water can cause serious damage to Sanuks, causing them to shrink or lose their shape. Never put Sanuks in a machine dryer. Set them somewhere to dry where they will not be disturbed. Within 24 hours, your Sanuks should be dry and ready to wear again. Leather Sanuks should not be washed in a machine. Purchase a leather cleaner online or at a department store to clean leather Sanuks. Spot treat the Sanuks for stains by dabbing or rubbing the leather cleaner onto soiled or dirty areas. Leather cleaners have different precise instructions depending on the type you get. Make sure to read the label carefully to make sure you use your leather cleaner correctly. Leather Sanuks should also be air dried.

Summary: Start by spot cleaning. Wrap your Sanuks in towels. Wash your Sanuks in a washing machine. Air dry your Sanuks. Use leather cleaning if your shoes are leather.

Once the foal gets past the shoulders, it should come out quickly and land on the straw. If the sac around the foal is still intact after the foal struggles a bit, you'll need to rip or cut it open so the foal can breathe. Also, tilt the foal's head upward to clear it's nose of fluid. If tilting doesn't clear the nose, you can use a suction bulb to pull out mucus. If the foal is having trouble breathing use a towel to rub its abdomen and ribs, which may help it start breathing. If it's still having trouble, you can hold the foal upside down for a moment or two to let the fluid drain. Start artificial respiration if the foal doesn't breathe on its own by cupping your hands firmly over its mouth and nose. Breathe into one nostril steadily and gently, letting its chest rise and fall, then push air into the nostril again. Keep going until it can breathe on its own. Do not try to cut the cord. It will break naturally on its own. Have an umbilical clamp on hand. The mare will likely lay down on its side for 20 minutes or so while it recovers. During that time, the mare will likely display colic-like behavior as she works to deliver the placenta. Tie a knot in the placenta with twine and let it hang so your horse is more likely to pass it safely. Never pull on the placenta since it could break inside the mare and make it sick. The foal should stand up within an hour and start nursing within 2. If it doesn't, call your vet. The navel stump is what's left behind on the foal when the umbilical cord breaks off, and it will be on the foal's belly, much like a human belly button. Pour an antiseptic solution into a cup. You can use a 0.5% chlorhexidine solution or a 2% iodine in it. Gently push the navel stump into the cup and hold it in there for 30 seconds. This is stage 3 of labor, and the horse should pass it within 3 hours, though often it will happen within 1 hour. It will look like a large, white bag. If you don't see it within 3 hours, call your veterinarian, as not passing the placenta is dangerous for the mare and is considered an emergency. Once the placenta passes, spread it out so you can see the whole thing. If it has any pieces missing, call your veterinarian, as pieces that stay inside the horse can cause infection. Never try to remove the afterbirth from the mare, as this could lead to a serious uterine infection. Save the placenta so your vet can look at it to learn about the health of your mare and foal. If the mare doesn't want to eat, seems depressed or colicky, or seems weak in the days following labor, call the vet. Similarly, if she has discharge from her vulva that's brown or smells particularly bad or if you see a lot of blood with it, call your vet. If the foal seems to be having trouble nursing or getting around, call your vet.
Summary: Get the foal breathing as soon as it is fully delivered. Give the mare and foal a chance to rest while you wait for the placenta. Clean the navel stump by dipping it in an antiseptic. Watch for the passing of the placenta. Call the veterinarian if the mare or foal show signs of trouble in the next few days.
