Bandage Changes
at Walk In Clinic for Animals
When your pet comes home with a bandage, your veterinarian should provide you with clear instructions on how to change it. If you’re feeling unsure or encounter any difficulties after hours however, don’t hesitate to reach out to our clinic.
We offer a range of services to support you, including:
- In-Clinic Bandage Changes: Our skilled vets and nurses can perform professional bandage changes in a calm and controlled environment. This is especially beneficial for pets who are anxious or have complex wound care needs.
- Remote Guidance: If you aren’t sure whether your pet requires a bandage change, you can reach out to us via phone and we can provide advice as to next steps including home care or whether a vet visit is required.
- Bandage Supplies: We stock a variety of high-quality bandage supplies, including sterile dressings, tape, and ointment. You can purchase these items directly from our clinic to ensure you have everything you need for successful bandage changes if you like.
Remember, maintaining a clean and dry environment for your pet’s wound is crucial for optimal healing. If your pet’s bandage gets wet, immediately remove the bandage and seek further veterinary care. If you notice any signs of infection at the wound site, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, contact the clinic for further advice. By working together, we can ensure that your pet’s wound heals properly and that the bandage change process is as stress-free as possible.
