Efficiently bandaging a cat's paw: a demo by Fox & Ratty

[kanld]

[104.1+]
Mom's cat Pomponnet has been badly injured in the foreleg, and the vet says it will take at least 2 weeks (perhaps one full month) to fully heal.
She's using a way of protecting his primary bandage I didn't know of and which proves very efficient- all of you who own are owned by cats know that it's almost impossible to keep them from

The tutorial is great, but I don't think Ratty was very impressed by the result LOL. Though it was good of him to volunteer his services....

[kanld]

He agreed to take part but Fox and I didn't tell him first he would have to wear an Elizabethan collar. He hates that!

Yup, it showed LOL

Poor kitty! :-(

But I love the tutorial. You learn something new every day! :-) I love the way Ratty happily volunteers, only to look mighty unhappy in the end. *g*

One last detail: better to make the knot at the tip of the paw (or a twist with duct tape) AFTER the bandage is done, so not to let room along the paw. This morning Pomponnet had the excess of bandage hanging at the tip and the inner bandage has slipped down inside, I had to put a new compress the better I could, and shorten the tubular bandage. Thankfully we're going this afternoon to the vet so he'll have a proper dressing done (the cat, not the vet).
