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.
