Dog | Cat Leg Cast Kit
Soft bandages and hard casts protect the underlying tissues from self-trauma such as licking, which will delay healing and may promote infection and helps protect your pet from further injury.
Soft Bandages are mainly used to protect a wound, incision, or injury while it is healing. A bandage protects the wound surface from contamination with dirt or debris from the environment. It may be used to cover a layer of topical medication that was applied to the wound, preventing the medication from being rubbed or licked off. In some cases, a bandage is used to hold an injured part against another part of the body, such as bandaging an injured ear to the head or bandaging an injured or broken toe to the other toes on the foot.
A hard cast is often used to provide protection and support to a bone or ligament area. It serves the same purpose of protection as a bandage does and but has the additional benefit of restricting movement of the injured area. If a hard cast is to support a fractured bone, it is applied so that it immobilizes both joints above and below the fracture.
