With a few more days before our next vet check on Marcie's tail, I am
incredibly pleased with the healing. I took a bold step today and
washed the area with a wet washcloth and I'm pretty confident that
Tuesday's appointment will give the thumbs up to stop bandaging.
Marcie's tail first bled on April 2nd, so this has been a long healing
process! I thank everyone who sent me links and advise on tail healing
and I used all of it to come up with what would work for us.
I think I'm going to type up a little "bandaging 101" for my vet, and
anyone else who may need it. The combo we wound up using held up really
well, protected her tail, and promoted healing. Most im****tantly
though, it was simple to do once the pattern was set, and it had low
impact on the dog(s), which was crucial.
