my cat is handi-capped and has a chronic sore on bottom of his leg. he's had 2 unsuccessful surgeries to close it. the skin keeps breaking open since he walks on it (bandaged of course). i have recently read about the bauer bandage that's supposed to be good for this type wound. anyone familiar with it? or any other suggestion? because of the nature of his disability and handicapped walking, his leg can't be raised to lessen pressure or be put in a cast. he had a spinal injury and walks on his hocks or 'elbows' instead of his feet. thank you for any help.

yes it would work very nicely,
this is going to sound strange but in the mean time get some spider webs and then wrap his wound the spidetr webs will pull his wound close,

I have had the same problem in the past and my doctors always told me to keep it moist and also trim off the dead areas of skin or that will lead to infections. Use Bacitracin because neosporin can cause an alergic reaction. Lightly bandage it too. You dont want it covered up too much. And try not to walk on it.

I recently finished up a clinical at a nursing home. There was one lady who had a decubatis ulcer that they had packed. It looks like it's worth trying. Animals are hard to isolate so that they can heal but this looks like he might be mobile. Do you have a picture of your cat?
Also, I know how cats are. I am not sure if you get your cats declawed. I did once I will never do it again. My cat was jumping around opening up his incisions. I thought he would never heal. However, I will never do that again to any of my cats. First time lesson learned.
