Monique,

You might also want to discuss with the vet the possibility of using  
human incontinence care products on Elvis. There are a number of  
cleansers, creams and "barrier films" that are designed specifically  
for use on tender skin that is irritated by urine, etc.

Ironically, before all the products were put on the market they were  
tested on guinea pigs and rabbits to make sure they didn't irritate  
the skin, so I would think they would be safe for Elvis.

Another possibility are the "liquid bandage" type products. I had a  
piggie that had a chronic infection at an amputation site. To help  
prevent th einfection from worsening, and to keep the stump from  
becoming even more irritated, I would coat it with Liquid Bandage. The  
Liquid Bandage would stay intact for at least two days, after which we  
would gently cleanse the stump, dry and re-apply it.

Tex
