haven't heard of the vaseline, but I'll sure remember it.  The idea with a chest wound is to let the air out of the chest cavity, without letting any air in.  we do that by taping a piece of plastic over the wound and only sealing it on three sides, leaving the lowest edge unsealed so it can drain.  that's for humans, I'm still trying to figure that out with a dog.  don't know how to get a seal with all that hair.
