Leg wrapping tips?

Post by steingre » Thu Sep 01, 2016 9:03 am

I have a young GSP with an skin infection on a back leg- treating with antibiotics...but it opens up or gets irritated when in the field. Any tips on wrapping/bandaging? I'll try vet wrap, various DIY coverings....just thought someone might have had a similar problem, and came up with a great fix!! Sores from top of his paw, all the way to the hock, all on the front of the leg.

Thanks!

If it starts on the top of the paw, try at least 10 days with no field work. I know it's tuff, but this does happen. Time to get another dog.

A boot on the paw with vet wrap up the leg. Don't get it too tight. The boot may cause more problems.
