Short YouTube clip by Dr. Lera Clone demonstrating how to tell if a dog's foot bandage is too tight: the toes should be left exposed when wrapped; if the bandage is too tight the toenails/toes may swell, widen, split, or start coming apart — an observable sign to loosen or check the bandage. The video uses a live example (Dahlia) and ends with a brief sign-off.
Did you know with Dr. Lehrel, did you know that there's a secret little way to know if your dog has a bandage around their foot, whether or not the bandage is too tight? So I have Dahlia. Hi, Dalia. So Dalia.
Had a procedure on her foot, and if you can see right there on this particular bandage, her toenails are left out. And most of the time, the toes should be left out for you to be able to see the toes when wrapping a foot. Now, the reason that it's important is because when the toes, if the bandage.
Is too tight, the.
Toenails will.
Start to split.
They'll start to kind of widen or come apart, and that's because they're.
Getting swollen. So that's a little trick to let you know that if your dog does have a bandage around their foot, if it's too tight and you see the toes starting to come apart, that means the bandage is too tight. Hopefully you found this helpful. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day.
