Tigger remains reasonably well

Tigger is surviving our bandaging pretty well, the doc says. He also says, though, that the raw spot on her leg may never entirely heal without a skin graft, and that she's probably too old for that procedure. Apparently the blood supply to her leg isn't very good, and her habit of lying on the leg militates against the graft too. But as long as we're willing to keep re-bandaging every five or six days and going back to see him once a month, he sees no reason why she couldn't go on for quite a while.

She's very docile while the re-bandaging takes place, so it's not more than a 5-10 minute process. We'll see.

Poor ol' dog. But she sounds like an ideal patient.
