I actually missed posting a few things last week, and from the weekend… I can’t remember what they all are now, but here’s one of them…<\/p>\n
Poor Stormy… He had to go to the vet again last week – twice.\u00c2\u00a0 He had a nasty little infection in his leg, which made it swell up to the size of a Saint Bernard leg.\u00c2\u00a0 He ended up with an equally nasty sore on the back of his leg, which required some serious bandaging to keep him from bleeding profusely.\u00c2\u00a0 The vet taught us a new, and terribly clever, technique for bandaging a dog leg.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately, it seems a little undignified for him, but it definitely served it’s purpose.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
For this clever technique, rather than taping a gauze pad to his leg, you take an infant or toddler sock, cut the toe off, and slide it up his leg to hold the absorbant material on the wound.\u00c2\u00a0 And what do you use for the absorbant material?\u00c2\u00a0 A panty liner.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Good thing we’re both girls.\u00c2\u00a0 Can you imagine trying to get a guy to bandage his dog with that technique?<\/p>\n
