QuoteIt's suppose to rain pretty hard at the beginning of the week. How do I keep his stitches dry while he is outside? I have been thinking about cutting a kids rain poncho. What do you guys think?

It should be OK if they get a little wet, just pat dry, don't rub. More important is to keep the incision clean. Put an old t-shirt on fron leggers, or use boxer shorts with the tail through the fly for rear tripawds. Or, you can always consider a doggie rain coat…

OfflineYou can also use "Press n Seal" if it's just to go outside and take it off when you get in the house.

Apparently they use Glad cling wrap on their dogs in Las Vegas. Should do the trick though! With the Press and Seal brand you wouldn't have to wrap your dog so tight.

Hahahaha! It rains – like 2 times a year!
I actually used it on knee surgeries for Comet. There was dew on the grass in the mornings when she went potty. The vet said put a plastic sack over her leg and I tried that once and thought that was stupid! So, I thought up Press n Seal. My neighbor had knee surgery and did the same thing on her knee so she could take a shower.
Press n Seal is sticky on one side and thicker than regular saran wrap.
"With Griptex gripping technology. Only activated when pressure is applied, Press n Seal wrap seals to plastic, paper, metal, wood, and many other surfaces. Seals
and reseals tightly."

OfflinePennies in Las Vegas?! I would have thought at least quarters.
Wow! I thought this was a commerciL free zone. Instead we get press and seal commercials. You have sold me, I will be picking up some later today. It seems that dropping a transmission on my ankle means I have to have help getting to store. LOL

I did it the simple way….held an oversized umbrella over me & the pup….
Cathy
I wish I would have thought of the press and seal….I used the colorful wrap tape you get at the feed store for wrapping horses' legs…
Well at least Riley was stylin' when she went outside in the rain!!
