[Dailydrool] Treatment of bed sores

[Jacquelynn Chazey]

My mom has a bed sore, and she is in the nursing home.  They use a variety
of ointments on her, but even if I had the name, you would probably need a
prescription.  (I will look up the name next time I can get in the room
where I keep Mom's paper work.   Anyway, if you could rotate her, put a
pillow under her, and even cover the sore, I think it would help.  I have
used band aides on my dogs before, and there is a special extra comfy one
for bed sores that you could probably get at a medical supply store.

I hope this helps, and healing drool for your fur baby.  That Vet sounds a
little cold, but they are bound by law to see the patient before writing the
script.  What about a house call?
