TREATMENT OF WOUNDS

TREAT THE WOUND EVERY DAY

  • Because the dog doesn't accept the bandage it eats it (partly) away
  • Because the wound produces a lot of moisture I have to clean it every day
  • Because the bandage moves the gauze dressing on the wound draws away from the wound
  • Put clean cottonwool between the bandage and the gauze dressing to absorb moisture and for less pressure on the wound

TREATMENT

  • Take a very clean bucket and fill it with 5 liters clean luke warm water with at most one table spoon Biotex.
  • Take the bandage and gauze dressing off; if the gauze dressing sticks to the wound then first soak it with the Biotex water
  • Clean the wound and vicinity of the wound with it; pour the Biotex water over and around the wound, with a clean cup
  • Dry the wound with sterile gauze dressing.
  • Put Lotagen Gel or other good ointment on a sterile gauze dressing of sufficient size
  • Put the gauze dressing on the wound
  • Put white cotton wool on the gauze dressing and the other places where you put the bandage
  • Put the bandage on, starting at the lowest part and not too tight (blood circulation!)
  • Avoid to put pressure on the wound with your hands, especially on the elbows/joints for the nerves which can be there!!!
  • For the animals: when the wound is almost closed (not so deep), you can use Terramicina* Nebulizador
