The caution I see from the manufacturer states, " Topical use only-Consumption of this medication may cause nausea and vomiting in animals. (Due to its bitter taste, most animals will not lick this product. However, to prevent them from licking, use a bandage, muzzle, old t-shirt, E-collar, etc.) Prolonged or frequent use may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. If signs of sensitivity occur after using any topical medication, bathe animal with mild soap and rinse with large amounts of water. If signs continue, consult a veterinarian immediately. Use sparingly on pets under 12 weeks of age." The caution I see from the manufacturer states, " Topical use only-Consumption of this medication may cause nausea and vomiting in animals.

I've never covered the ointment on a rash because it wouldn't stay covered -- I don't know that gauze would help or hurt the healing process but I'm sure it would protect your furniture and carpet if that's necessary -- around here it ISN'T because I have lots of dogs and this is a very dog-friendly house. But the stuff IS a bit greasy and could stain fine fabrics, I suppose, if that is something that you have and want to keep protected. Not an issue around HERE. I'm just happy the stuff WORKS for us.

It is not that thin thin gauze, but just a simple cotton. Wash on gentle cycle.

I don't know if it would help. My thought is that you should focus on placing the gauze quickly and correctly first , then evaluate if additional measures are needed. If you try to both at once, it may waste valuable time.

I have secured gauze to my satisfaction, but be aware that the tape is waterproof and does not breath like most tapes do. But it is a very flexible and soft tape so it would be great for joints. This tape does not leave a sticky residue like some do after several days.

No. The instructions clearly state "Do Not cover your Original Lectro-Kennel with blankets or materials other than a fleece K&H; Lectro-Cover. Other coverings may not allow heat to radiate properly and could cause pad failure."

Yes. I have used it on 2 diff dogs. Spray with Bitter Apple or they will chew the bandage off.

I would say no because you can't leave it on all the time because it could cause sores on the dogs neck. if you put it on the main collar, he/she wouldn't have his tags at the times you remove it.

Yes! I used it that way for my little dog all last summer, and it worked great. I either used a towel or put it in a pillowcase.

I put an ointment on open wound first then put the tape directly over the ointment. It breaths too.

Yes, you just make a tent in the folds of skin on the back of the dog, over the shoulder blades and insert the needle through the skin, push in the plunger,hold onto the fold of skin and remove the needle. Works great.

Also leave the cover (mesh thing) off on the slider if u are using uv - as it will further reduce the uv going to your pet

I think you should apply it directly to the wound, then blow on it until it dries, then wrap it. Then it shouldn't do that.

I did not apply a pad to the gel....I used it to seal the wound long enough to get to the vet. It did a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to use it again, in emergency. For your pet, I don't know the extent of the wound or the reason for bleeding, but please take him/her to the vet as soon as possible. This gel is a temp fix. It is very sticky, like glue, and you may be aggravating the wound each time you redress. Please note how much blood he/she has lost and check for emergency clinic need. Better safe than sorry.

One. Open the package and apply the gauze, which contains the clotting material, directly to the wound.

I'll try it on my dog this evening and see. It worked really well to keep our dog away from her midsection and bum after surgery, but I can't recall if she could itch her face or not. Will get back to you this evening.

Leave it on! You will have a big mess if you try and take it off. If it does rip or tear I have used bandaid clear bandages to repair the tear.

it has the consistency and texture of a thick bandaid. So Yes, provided it's not a hard crease, you should be able to fold it or slightly roll it. I would recommend, if you're needing storage space, fold or roll it over a thick bandage to prevent hard creases.
