JenniferS Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Looking for creative ways to keep my girl's bandage dry - it's going to rain here for the next few days. She cut her leg running and has some sutures and even though we are not going out much, I'm supposed to keep it dry until at least Monday when she goes back to the vet for a re-check. Any ideas?

GeorgeofNE Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 That press and seal wrap might work. Otherwise Saran wrap? Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav. Missing Ming, George, and Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I was just going to recommend the Press n Seal, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MnMDogs Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've used saran wrap attached with vet wrap. She's adorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsy Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Press n Seal definitely!! It has seen me through assorted orthopedic adventures. Much better than basic Saran Wrap. I really love the fashionista look of your bandage matching your collar--very well done sweetie.

beledi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Press and seal. I am using that on my knee bandage while taking a shower. I had a total kneereplacement and this stuff is much easier to use than taping on a garbage bag. Quote "Then God sent the Greyhound to live among man and remember.

FiveRoooooers Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Ask your vet for a used IV bag. See Aiden's toe thread for pics. It's a godsend Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

MaryJane Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Ask your vet for a used IV bag. See Aiden's toe thread for pics. It's a godsend I was going to suggest this as I have used it and it works great on foot injuries. In your case, you might want to use two or three and make it like a large boot, one for the bottom with the two more so it goes high enough to cover all of the bandage. You will have to tape them together with something like duct tape. If you get creative enough, you can make a tie that comes up over his head and then you can tie it in place.

Best thing ever for keeping stuff dry on the feet/legs. VERY durable. The Press n Wrap is a great idea, I will keep that in mind when I can't get the IV bag Edited October 21, 2016 by RaineysMom Quote Kim and Bruce - with Rick (Rick Roufus 6/30/16) and missing my sweet greyhound Angels Rainey (LG's Rainey 10/4/2000 - 3/8/2011), Anubis (RJ's Saint Nick 12/25/2001 - 9/12/12) and Zeke (Hey Who Whiz It 4/6/2009 - 7/20/2020) and Larry (PTL Laroach 2/24/2007 - 8/2/2020) -- and Chester (Lab) (8/31/1990 - 5/3/2005), Captain (Schipperke) (10/12/1992 - 6/13/2005) and Remy (GSP) (?/?/1998 - 1/6/2005) at the bridge"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.

GeorgeofNE Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The bandage is too high up on the dog's leg for an IV bag to work. That's why we all suggested press and seal!

Yep, BTDT and taping them together works just fine. Hopefully your pup won't need to be wrapped for too long! Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.
