I bought that book while I was training and it's a great read, would recommend to all nurses. Got some good ideas from there to put into place

I have just bought the book, Wound management in small animals by Louise O'dwyer, and so far it looks fab, think everyone nurse should have a copy, it's fab

We've been treating a cat with a degloving injury to it's fore paw. Granulogel and Allevyn together have helped it granulate and heal really quickly. I remember trying to find emovet a couple of years ago and found out it had been discontinued and no direct replacement was available!

We've had alot of sucess using Intrasite Gel, especially with a Dog De Bordeaux that originally had a fairly straight forward, but deep, neat cut to his main fore pad but ended up chewing thru/ removing buster collars/ bandages 2 more times and made a horrendous mess of it... anyway with daily dressing changes... intrasite on melolin, it healed incredibly well.

Contact the following http://www.vetwoundlibrary.com/ The cost is £38/year. They have a selection of top of range dressings (honey etc etc) all you do is order what you want and send in a write up and photos of the case/s used on.
The dressings are sent first class, you can keep some in stock. There is no charge for the dressings other than the £38/year.

are Inodine dressings still available - these used to be similar to emovet, haemostat was the human one, if that is still around??

We have quite a few ongoing wound cases at the moment and have found from experience that Alleyvn Adhesive works very well at helping tissue to granulate.

I think the whole range was discontinued a little while ago, certainly the little cubes used after dental extractions were anyway. Have you tried Intrasite conformable? These work well at speeding up granulation and have seen good results using them on otherwise slow recovery cases. They are thin sheets impregnated with Intrasite but a lot less messy and easier to place.
