Ooooo I'll get some of this adhesive remover spray. Have ordered the millpledge bandage book. It gets so frustrating sometimes. Anyone else feel like vets and nurses just think differently?

Adhesive removers are definitely your friend in this case.

Could you perhaps suggest a bandaging night where you can discuss bandages and even show them how to do them properly? I've been lucky enough to work with vets that realise nurses are better are bandages and are happy enough to hand over the reins in that department. It's always worthwhile pointing out that we learn it.

Do you have the Millpledge bandage book? Maybe leave some lying around?

I would suggest looking for papers or whatever that might show how traumatising super sticky stuff is to the skin and animal but I would also think that's common sense.

Ouch! We use an adhesive remover spray for these exact cases. It's brill and you can request a free sample which will last you a little while - http://trioveterinarycare.com. Hope this helps!
