I think part of the problem with bandaging is that she still has her shoulder.  Now that she's slightly more active you can see her work her shoulder as she's getting up or trying to move as if she's trying to use that leg.  But all that movement under there dislodges the padding.  (We're currently using baby diapers.)  Just a theory.  I wonder if it's any easier with no shoulder?

I bought a roll of that ouchless tape and wound it around her and the diaper.  We used the whole roll and it lasted about 3 minutes.  Maybe not quite that long.  My husband went back out and bought an ace bandage.  We wrapped that around her and it seems to be working better.  She's just been sleeping since so it will be morning before a big test.  

I actually think the licking is keeping it drier.  She's been without bandage for almost 24 hours.  She only licks when it oozes, so the oozing stuff isn't sitting on it.  It looks nice and dry and not pink.  Wet bandages seem the opposite of what we want.  I will, of course, let my vet know today and see what he says.  

Thank you, admin.  That was helpful!
