That's White "Man" to You Posts: 5515	One of my horses has swelling in the bursa on his front leg. I'm wrapping it with leg sweat, plastic wrap, cotton and vet wrap. Any tips to keep it from sliding down the leg? Its just above the knee. Edited by Whiteboy 2017-05-15 4:01 PM

A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	I agree with the duct tape, I used duct tape for almost a year on one of my horses that tryed to cut his leg off, after I did all my wrapping with the vet wrap I used the duct tape at the top of the vet wrap and wraped onto the hair so it would stick/stay. I had duct tape in different colors for this horse. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2017-05-15 6:08 PM

	I'm having to wrap a front leg weekly. We tape the top and bottom. This wrap my vet told me to do has 5 layers........but it will last for a solid week because of the tape. So just tape it or use a splint boot to help sweat.

Elite Veteran Posts: 725	I use white bandage tape on the top and bottom of the wrap to stick it to the leg so it can't slide down.
