How to sew a bandage for a cat independently?To make a postoperative bandage for a cat of the average sizes by own efforts, take a cut of dense cotton fabric, it is better than light shades – on them possible pollution are more visible.
Pay attention that fabric should not be friable and "pour" - the small thread which got to a wound can provoke development of inflammatory process.
When you are engaged in a body cloth pattern, do not forget to leave allowances for a pro-line of its edges.
The bandage on a cat of the average size requires a rectangle of fabric about 27 by 28 cm, on the center of the rear edge which proceeds the valve of 8 cm in length and 10 cm width. Recede 12 cm from a first line of future body cloth and make from both of its parties cuts about 9 cm in depth everyone and 3-4 cm wide – for forepaws of an animal. Sweep off edges of preparation to prevent fabric "fall".
For fixing of a bandage on a body of a cat it is necessary to sew strongly and accurately to the received preparation of a tape. On couple of tapes fastens on both sides of a bandage closely to its first line, further – on both sides of cuts for forepaws and near the rear edge of a product.
