Some wounds may require a dressing or bandage, this usually consists of at least 4 layers of material to protect the affected area. A bandage can be dangerous if left on for too long or becomes wet, therefore we usually perform bandage changes every 3 days. At the appointment, the nurse will remove the bandage, assess and clean the wound and replace the bandage. As soon as it is safe to leave the bandage off, we will, but your pet may be required to wear a buster collar during the final stages of healing.
