White Boots- Bandages really help!

Here is a picture of Bella after we have wrapped some sticky bandage tape around her back feet.

She resists us putting them on her, but its pretty easy to have one person hold her down while the other person carefully tapes up the paw.

She thumps around abit, and doesnt like the sensation of having them on her, but after a while she gets used to it.
The result has been excellent, because there is no way she can scratch herself with them on, and it seems to also discourage the scratching behaviour in general.

We found that when one comes off,  and they tend to come loose every 4-5days, she didnt start scratching with the exposed paw.  This is a good sign.

If you need help getting the right tape, or putting it on its a great idea to see the vet nurse. Once you have done it once its easy enough.

The tape doesnt need to be tight, it just needs to wrap around.
