Maybe you guys can help?

Finnegan hurt his paw pads a few weeks ago and theyve been healing up really well but sunday he bit the scab off of his one and now he won't let it scab back over! We tried keeping it bandaged but he just shakes them right off! We're at a loss at what to do now. any suggestions???

Have you tried useing Coflex wrap for the bandage? Works really well..

He's either going to have to put up with being bandaged for a while or you'll have to put an Elizabethan collar on him, I'm afraid . What Katie said, I assume the stuff is what I call vetrap, the bandage that will stick only to itself, but what you're probably going to have to do is bandage him nine different ways from Sunday, bandage the paw, then up the leg and in a figure 8 around the other leg so that he can't just shake it off.

Good luck! I know how frustrating it is to keep a bandage on a cat. When Melichus had surgery on his ear for an aural haematoma, the ONLY way I could keep him from shaking it off (obviously an Elizabethan collar wouldn't keep him from doing this and he didn't need to be shaking that ear around,) was to cut the toe out of an athletic sock and put that over his head and ears. He looked like a darn rat, but at least the ear could heal in peace!

Thanks girls i knew someone would have a solution! ill try that tonight and tell you how it works! he wobbles and falls around like he has a broken leg when its bandaged even though i showed him he can put his full weight on it but he needs to get it healed!!
