Ok, so Daisy and Oreo got into a fight last week (long story) and Daisy had to have stitches and a tube put in on her shoulder. The tube was removed on Friday (the tube was to make sure that the wound closed from the inside out, not the other way around). Today I noticed a baseball sized fluid pocket on her shoulder above the incision. Brought her into the vet and they drained it- 200mL of fluid came out and more is still slowly draining.
They put a vet scrub on her to prevent it from dripping all over (we were joking that she is officially a member of the vet team lol)- but it is soaking through and has soaked onto her dog bed.
We asked about wraping it but he and I both agreed that the area would be difficult to wrap because of where it's at. I may have to get creative though. We are trying to lesson the amount that actually soaks through the scrub and onto whatever she is laying on.
I can experiment and figure out how differen't ways work, but is there anything you've found that works well for wrapping shoulders? I would assume that dogs are similar to horses in that it's extremely hard to wrap the shoulder area.

This was also my thought.
