Hello,
Last week my 5y.o. Luke broke 4 bones in his front paw after a bar stool fell on him (you can blame his brother for that one). They put on a splint and full bandages for his entire arm - - 6 days later he got his bandages wet because his favorite activity is playing with the water bowl/fountain. So yesterday I went back to the vet and they put new bandages...Less than 24 hours later he was able to take the entire thing off. I went back to the vet today and the took more xrays and decided it would be best to sedate him again and realign the bones in order for them to heal correctly. Now he has new bandages and everything and the goal is to keep it clean and dry for at least 3 weeks or so to allow some of the healing to take place. I turned off the water fountain and placed it higher making it more difficult for him to put his paw in the bowl and put less water in the bowl. Are there any other suggestions to keep his bandages dry from both the fountain and the litter box?
