Bandaging in dogs

What do you need?

• Cotton wool roll
• Plaster
• Betadiene
• Sterile gauzes
• Petflex
• Vetramil

Step-by-step

• Rinse the wound
• Disinfect the wound while dabing
• Wrap a gauze and grease with some vetramil
• Place the petflex loosely around the padding and connect the strap so that the pressure is even.
• If necessary, take a fixation patch to prevent the bandage from sagging.

Tips

1. First, make sure that the wound is covered with a sterile gauze.
2. Don't be too frugal with what you're doing. It is important that there is a good underlay for the correct pressure distribution.
3. Make sure the pressure is even.
4. The bandage must overlap each new stroke with the old stroke.
5. Place new bandages regularly, and check that the wound does not become inflamed.
6. Pay attention to medicines under the bandage. When it gets too hot, the recovery process can be slowed down. This increases the risk of a wound infection.

In case of a deep wound or doubt, always visit the veterinarian!
