Product Information

Yes this protects minor cuts and grazes from water, dirt and bacteria to reduce the risk of infection. Mechanical debridement: physical removal of tissue adhered to a dried on dressing; nonselective and therefore least desirable method of debridement Polyester-cotton casting materials consist of a polyester and cotton, knitted, open-weave fabric impregnated with a water-activated polyurethane resin (Delta-Lite Fabric Casting Tape, Johnson & Johnson Orthopaedics, Inc., Raynham, MA). After immersion in cool tap water, this material is applied as casts or protective bandages. Casts formed from these products are lightweight, immersible, porous (permeable to water vapor), and fairly strong. Their biggest advantage is that they are virtually radiolucent. 4 If your four-legged family member’s injury is a very small cut or graze, it may heal on its own in a few days, if it stays clean and dry. Once your dog has had an intense workout, they will feel way better about themselves. If you exercise yourself, you will know what high you get afterwards.

Keep the dog quiet and calm. Put on a tight bandage. Improvise with a towel or some clothing if necessary. If blood is seeping through, apply another tight layer. Only use a tourniquet as a last resort. For places you cannot bandage, press a pad firmly onto the wound and hold it in place. Get to the vet straight away. Wrapping the padding from cranial to caudal around the medial aspect of the limb helps to prevent supination when wrapping the forelimb. 10 Two layers are usually adequate, although extra padding may be needed at the proximal and distal aspects of the cast. Uniform full-length padding provides the best protection against dermal injury. 11 The cast material is rolled around the leg beginning at the distal end and overlapped by half the width of the roll. The material should be applied smoothly using even conforming pressure; smooth application is facilitated by rolling continuously around the limb in a spiral fashion and not raising the roll away from the skin. 5 Regardless of the casting material used, a cast should be supported with the palms of the hands and not the fingertips because indentations from the fingers may result in pressure sores. If applied properly, four layers of material are usually adequate for the average-size dog. The pads and toenails of the two central toes may be left exposed if there is no weight-bearing on the foot. If the animal is weightbearing on the limb, an aluminum rod walking bar can be applied to the end of the cast to prevent excoriation of toes and excessive wear to the cast. 1,2 Longitudinal splints of cast material can be applied medially and laterally or cranially and caudally to strengthen the cast before the final layer of casting material is applied (Figure 64-11). You’ll have to clean longer and bigger ears more often, so speak to your vet to find the ideal grooming regime based on their breed. If the wound is bleeding, using two cotton pads, apply pressure to either side of your pet’s ear. It can take up to 10 minutes of pressure to stop it from bleeding. Yes, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Spray plaster can be sprayed directly onto superficial wounds as a dressing set, i.e., from a sufficient distance.It would be wise to use spray plaster in environments with lots of dirt and where a band-aid cannot be effectively applied. A spray plaster is not a medication but belongs in the area of bandages. However, the wound should be small (as the spray plasters do not hold over large areas), not too deep, and you should clean it well beforehand. Otherwise, you will only trap the germs under the plaster. This is an excellent product which we always have in our stables yard veterinary kit. Works extremely well in assisting with healing. Most of the time, your dog will be eating drywall due to a behavioural issue. If you can’t resolve that, they will continue to scratch the walls, and all you can do is put up a protective covering.

Your dog is highly likely to be anxious and unwilling to let you anywhere near their paw to help them, so one of the first steps to take is to muzzle them. While Chinese drywall has concerns, you will find that in the majority of cases where a dog eats drywall, it’s non-toxic. It’s unlikely to cause any significant concerns outside of bowel obstruction. My Just Ate Drywall: What Now? If your dog has eaten drywall, there are steps you’ll need to take, including a potential visit to the vet. Step 2: Look over your pup. Are they wound up, panting, or distressed? Is your pup showing any signs of abdominal discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea? Are they coughing? Tobias TA. Slings, padded bandages, splinted bandages, and casts. In: Olmstead ML, ed. Small animal orthopedics. St. Louis: CV Mosby, 1995.Ear wounds in dogs may seem minor, but they can take a long time to heal – usually a minimum of 1-2 weeks. Why? Due to the discomfort caused by the injury, your pooch is likely to shake and scratch its ear.

Reapply the spray on plaster after a few days if it comes off/ Discontinue treatment or speak to a vet if irritation occurs. Cones and collars are a great idea to stop your pet from scratching its wound and making it worse. If your dog causes the cut to bleed again, it’s at higher risk of inflammation and infection, meaning it will take much longer to heal. Can a dog’s wound heal by itself?Animals are, by and large, resilient creatures that require less care for their non-life-threatening wounds. Even so, dogs and cats are just as susceptible to infections, bruising, blisters, and other painful problems caused by seemingly minor injuries, so treating these with some TLC will do both of you a lot of good. The choice of coaptation device depends on each individual case and circumstance. The coaptation device may serve as a temporary splint for traumatic injuries while waiting for definitive internal fixation, as a primary treatment of certain fractures, or as an adjunct to internal fixation or ligament repair. 1,2 Cost is another important aspect that must be considered as well as the availability of materials required for different coaptation devices. General Application Guidelines If your pup eats small amounts of standard drywall, then it should pass through them without issue. Many dogs consume very little of the actual material in the destruction process. Bowker P, Powell ES. A clinical evaluation of plaster of Paris and eight synthetic fracture splinting materials. Injury 1992; 23:13-20. Plaster of Paris can be shaped and molded with ease and should usually be chosen for immobilizing severely displaced or unstable fractures that require a closer fit when coaptation is indicated. Because plaster is less expensive than the newer synthetic materials, it is indicated if frequent changes of casts are required. It is suitable for an initial or primary cast after fracture reduction when mild edema or swelling of a limb can be expected, because a change of cast is usually necessary after the edema subsides or becomes more severe. 3 Synthetic casts should be used with small patients requiring a lighter cast, with patients likely to abuse or moisten the cast, or when a plaster cast is likely to fail within the required time of immobilization.

Regular visits to the vet can help identify any hidden ear issues with your long-eared canine companion.The most common claw to get torn is the dew claw, as this is higher on their paw and connected a little more loosely than the others. What are the signs of a broken dog nail? I regularly write about how you can stop dogs from doing things you don’t want them to. Here are some additional tips to help around your home: You should also steer clear of using hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol on your dog’s ear. Despite the common perception that these promote healing, they can actually slow it down and damage the tissue even more. They also sting, ouch!
