Apply as directed by your veterinarian. Prepare wound area to ensure wound is free of debris. The wound may be gently flushed with a mild cleanser, if needed. Inspect the KeraVet® Gel tube to ensure that it is not damaged and is not past its expiration date. Remove the internal seal on the KeraVet® Gel tube if opening the tube for the first time. Apply KeraVet® Gel to form a thin layer over the wound surface and edges of normal adjoining skin. Ensure the entire wound surface is covered with the hydrogel. After application, a non-adherent, occlusive secondary dressing may be applied to maintain a moist environment and prevent removal of the hydrogel.

Apply KeraVet® Gel every 4 to 6 hours to manage the wound and reduce licking as needed. If licking behavior persists, administer additional applications of KeraVet® Gel. If wound appearance does not improve within 7 days, consult a veterinary practitioner. If a secondary dressing is used, it may be changed every 1 to 3 days, or as directed by a veterinary practitioner. When changing the dressing, lightly flush the wound bed with a gentle cleanser as determined by the veterinary practitioner and then apply KeraVet® Gel by fully covering the wound.
