Bandages & Elizabethan Collars

We have a wide selection of vet wrap type bandages available in different sizes and colors for you to have on hand for veterinary as well as human emergencies and routine wound care.
We even have a new wrap with a built in repellent to hopefully keep your pet from chewing at the wound.


          







Veterinary cohesive bandages are great in that they conform to the shape of the body part you’re wrapping and self sticking meaning no clips or pins are needed.
They breathe, they canned be torn by hand, are non-constricting.
They’re soft and comfortable enough to use on most pets.

These wraps should be applied at approximately 50% stretch and not so tight as to impair circulation.  Usually changed daily, and not directly over open wounds unless first treated with wound dressing and gauze.    
Prices range from $3-6

E collars are clumsy, but very useful when needed to force your pet to leave a delicate wound or incision alone for a few days. 
Prices range from $3-20










Bag Balm
"For bunches, caked bags, cuts, sore teats, chapping, and inflammation."

Bag Balm has been around dairy barns and veterinary clinics for over 100 years and it’s original use was to soothe, lubricate, and heal cow udders that were chapped, infected, and all scraped up from walking through briars and frozen to manure.

Imagine; while laying asleep at night, the udders would freeze to the manure pack and then when the poor cow stood up the next morning, the frozen, tender skin would rip off.  And then she’d walk into the barn at 5am to have her raw udder scrubbed for milking.

An unhappy cow would not only kick and fuss but wouldn’t give as much milk.  So farmers, vets, and practically everyone else in the dairy business searched for the best udder treatment and there were and are lots of interesting contenders with great names like “Udder Butter”, “Udder Mate”, “Teat Neat”, “Milk More” and so forth, but the best and most used was “Bag Balm”

Bag Balm is full of lanolin and hydroxyquinoline and while a little greasy, is very effective for dried hands, skin, cuticles, cuts, wounds, dog and cat bites, chapped lips, hemorrhoids, scrapped knees and so forth.  We sell more for human use now than for pet first aid care.  Sailors and snow skiers are especially fond of bag balm.  It’s great as a post tattoo skin soother.
For paw abrasions, incisions after surgery, & dry scabs on pets.
                                     10 ounce famous green can:  $8

Interesting Historical note: Originally Bag Balm contained a tiny amount of mercury and was famous for healing wounds “overnight”.


Veterinus Derma Gel

Derma Gel is the number one wound care herbal hydrogel - designed  to be applied to open wounds of horses, dogs, cats and other animals.            Essential for any equine or canine first aid kit.  Derma Gel's natural herbal formula provides a  barrier against contaminants and bacteria,        repels insects and maintains an ideal percentage of moisture to enable rapid healing.  Bandaging the affected area is therefore not required.
Derma GeL is an isotonic formulation indicated for intensive and rapid wound care.
It ensures a uniform porous barrier of protection against bacterial attack, foreign contaminants, avoiding desiccation and maintaining an ideal percentage of moisture.
Skin traumas are re-covered by cells genetically and completely identical to the cells that were initially available which means no proud flesh, and hair grows back the same color.
Super safe on tissue.  Safe to lick.  And non irritating.
Especially good for large open wounds, wounds under tension, and for post op incision care, especially if you don’t want a scar.

Derma GeL maintains cell viability to a very high rate and consequently favors a rapid hair regrowth in the original color, stays where it is applied, and will not run  off the treated surface.
ApplyDerma GeL generously several times a day, as needed. To help prevent skin proliferation, extend application to the surrounding area. When needed, bandage over the gel. After 24 hours, leave surface uncovered as the product ensures a protective barrier making a bandage unnecessary.
Avoid the use of this product on abnormal cell proliferation,warts and ringworm.
Derma Gel 3.4 oz:  $15









Malotic ointment is marketed as an ointment for treating ear infections but this ointment used to be a very expensive human product for treating burns because it killed staph and yeast so well.   Now that it's a generic product, it's excellent ... much more effective than Neosproin type products ... for treating cuts, minor wounds, and ear infections in pets as well as humans.  I keep it in my tackle box and first aid kit on the boat.

Malotic has 3 potent ingredients including gentamicin antibiotic, clotrimazole anti-fungal, and betamethasone, a strong, synthetic topical steroid for inflammation and itching.

Note: Gentamicin, the antibiotic in this (and many other prescription antibiotic ear ointments) is quite effective, but can potentially cause inner ear damage if the ear drum is not intact, so Malotic should not be used in dogs with an obvious head tilt or in dogs not first examined by a veterinarian.

And once again, remember that many ear infections are complicated and need more aggressive care than just a topical ointment alone.

Malotic is $12

Nolvasan Solution Wound Wash & Hot Spot Treatment
With or without added Gentocin & Dexamethasone

Normally, Nolvasan Solution contains 2% Chlorhexidine which is a pretty good killer of bacteria, virus’, and fungus.  It’s used on children in many hospitals as a wound wash and is gentle on raw tissue.  It’s safe to lick.

At the FoxNest, we offer it in as a 5% Formula which is still safe and much more effective.

Nolvasan is excellent for cleaning wounds, rashes, and hot spots.
1 ounce:  $4     4 ounce:  $6      16 ounce Spray:  $15

But plain Nolvasan doesn’t stop itching very well and we’ve found that on obviously infected wounds, Nolvasan works better if Gentocin (potent antibiotic) and Dexamethasone (potent short acting topical steroid) is added.  Dexamethasone is great at reducing itching for 4-12 hours.

5% Nolvasan with added Gentocin and Dex is a little more expensive:  4 ounce: $10

These are great products to have on hand for treating any external body part (except mouth and eyes) for scrapes, hot spots, cuts, minor wounds, and so forth. Good for both cats, dogs, and all other mammals
And it’s safe to use with other topical wound products.
Nolvasan in either formula should be applied liberally several times daily

Interesting history:

Calamine lotion … which is a zinc based lotion has been used since antiquity (invented by the Egyptians) for itchy skin.

And zinc-oxide cream is fairly good for itching and infection.

But the zinc in calamine and zinc oxide creams offers only modest bioavailability and only work fair, whereas the zinc in Zn7 is complexed with lysine and taurine, stabilized at a neutral pH and is much better and deeper absorbed into the skin or wound making it much superior at reducing the itch and inflammation.

It's Safe to lick.

Good for treating reactive skin lesions such as rodent ulcers, lick granulomas, proud flesh, hairless areas, and so forth.
Great for itchy insect bites on people as well as pets.

Expensive; $15 for a little 2 ounce bottle.
