Thank you so much. I really appreciate how you took the time to name all of the materials you used and thoroughly describe the procedure. I tech at an equine vet clinic and really appreciate online teachers like you!
This is usually for a large wound on the fetlock, lol. It’s to ensure no gunk gets into the wound. For example, this is good for sutures from surgery recovery, or perhaps a very large gash. We wouldn’t do this for a scrape or a cut, that can usually be treated with some ssd cream - and, depending on the severity of the cut, some vet wrap.
@@n_eptunzI agree. Wounds or deep lacerations over/around joints with unrestricted movement are notorious for the development of proud flesh. This type of bandage not only keeps those types of wounds free of dirt and debris but also help to support the closure of the wound by restricting some of the movement of the wound.

Never kneel. When horse is scared you never will be fast enough to get up.
If you bandage one foreleg, do you need to bandage the other one for support or not?
No the other keg is fine
All of this for a little wound on the fetlock. Overkill.
I'm wondering the same thing
