My 11yo Boxer has a wound on the back of both of her hind legs, so I wrapped it in gauze and vet tape overnight to protect the wounds. This morning, one of her paws is very swollen, and I’m wondering if I wrapped it too tight. The bandage ended up slipping down overnight, so I don’t think the wrap was too tight necessarily, but it was the first thing I thought of. I removed the wrap and I’m keeping an eye on it. Could this be a sign of her wound being infected, and it caused her paw to swell? The wounds have been there for weeks, but this was the first time I bandaged them. She’s currently on gabapentin and carprofen for some of her Cushing’s symptoms. Thank you!!
