Brenda,it’s suppose to. This is what rabbits online says. I’ve used it
along time but have also used barrier creams like a and d original and the
butt paste sounds great which I haven’t used, but my friend uses ir
successfully.
“ Dermagel is an isotonic hydrogel. it is intended to 'seal " a skin
problem . There really isn't any antibiotic qualities thatI know of.. it is
generally used to keep stuff out and keep moisture in. The idea of using
this is that it doesn't kill beneficial bacteria.. sort of a natural
alternative to drugs/ It also has the cabability of absorbing the pus in an
infection . I still use topical or systemicantibiotics. I would certainly
culture since it could be anything . Most vets ( and human docotrs) assume
staph with any skin issues but I have also seen pasturella and pseudomonas
and in todays environment it could be anything "
This is about the spray, but both work well. It wouldn’t hurt to put a and
d original on it, you can buy generic version at the dollar store for a
dollar.,
It’s a great idea to use a sleeve. Now I remember using a long sleeve over
my hare and wrapped with self adhering tape. Could even use Velcro.
Please just don’t use zinc.
Love Janet

So Janet the veterinos derma gel I ordered that you’ve used, does that
offer a protective barrier like desitin or a&d (the no zinc formula)? That
should arrive tomorrow.
I might have a baby doll t shirt that I could try. My leg warmers are
scratchy I think so would only use them to maybe keep the diaper on
