Quick Bandaging Question..

[Skhosu]

Not sure if this is stable yard or veterinary? So put it in here!
If you bandage a fetlock, just over a small cut, literally just the fetlock, do you support bandage the other leg?
Thanks!

I would put stable bandages on both legs.

I have to say no we don't. We use stretchy elastic bandage and have never had a problem with it. If however it was a big injury and long term, yes we would.

Ditto henryhorn. I had to bandage a cut a few weeks ago and just used gamgee and vetwrap on the affected leg. The vet didn't advise otherwise.

Should always bandgae both legs as it it highly likely they are putting nearly all their weight on the uninjured limb, so that needs more support than the injured limb.
