I've looked this up and don't see any specific instructions for or against bandaging; I do see that one of the ingredients may be harmful if licked/swallowed, so if he tries to do this, experts recommend an e-collar (bandaging would also be effective).Does anyone have experience with this? My cat has a small wound at the base of his tail where it attaches to the body. I put Mupirocin ointment on it and covered with a bandage. My question is, should I take the bandage off for a few hours a day to let it dry out?

You can also try to get a bottle of Colloidal Silver and either you dab the spot with a cotton pad with several drops of the mentioned lotion or use the eye dropper and drip some over the wound. Do this several times a day till it heals.My cat has a small wound at the base of his tail
What does January's doctor have to say about that wound, tabbytom ? I'd wonder why it isn't healing after "over 3 years"???You can also try to get a bottle of Colloidal Silver and either you dab the spot with a cotton pad with several drops of the mentioned lotion or use the eye dropper and drip some over the wound.

Maybe you like to try this product called Colloidal Silver. My boy has this wound on his hind leg and he keeps biting it while cleaning till it bleeds and leaves fresh blood on the floor and on his pillow and this sore has been there like over 3 years.
In the early quarter of this year, I bought this product and apply it a few times a day on the sore and now I don't see the blood stain and he doesn't groom that leg very much. The sore is like kind dried up and not much of a scab like before which bleeds easily. I'm still applying the liquid daily on the sore to make sure it is fully healed.
There are many brands out there, see if you can get them.

This one I did not bring him to the vet as I still have the antiseptic cream he was given the last time for his wound from his scratching near the ear which has healed.What does January's doctor have to say about that wound, tabbytom ? I'd wonder why it isn't healing after "over 3 years"???
