Reddit reviews Mueller Rainbow Pack of Sports Pre-Wrap (8 Colors!),30 Yards,Rainbow

I learned about using this stuff from a girl on my university soccer team. It doesn't move! It doesn't hurt! And it's super cute! And cheap! Obviously this link is for a bulk quantity--I just chose it to show all of the colors available (in addition to the usual black). Smaller quantities are almost certainly available at your regular local pharmacy.

Back in my soccer days, Pre-wrap was popular (https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Rainbow-Sports-Pre-Wrap-colors/dp/B00CA5IA4G). You rip off a strip of it, tie the ends together to make a loop, and wear it like any other headband. Cheap, disposable, stayed in place nicely (after you do some experimenting to figure out the right length of strip for your head). Might sound a little crazy, but it really did the job.

We'd match the colors to our uniforms because we were cool like that :)

Try strapping your feet.

Use 1" athletic tape around your feet and 2" athletic tape across your feet.

The only thing I do different is that I use athletic pre-wrap first so that most of the tape isn't actually touching and irritating my skin.

It's kinda like a roll of ultra thin foam that goes on under athletic tape so it doesn't stick to you skin but can still serve it's purpose. Works great to keep hair out of your face, and a lot of girls who play sports use it (especially because some sorts don't allow headbands/bobby pins).

When I played soccer we used to use PreWrap, you pull off a piece and knot it into a loop, might help if you feel like most headbands are too small since you can make it whatever size you want. Works great.

Walmart and such. I get it online:

In my experience the cheap ones tend to stretch out quickly. Lululemon makes pretty nice ones if you want to invest in something that will last a bit longer.

Another thing I always used as a soccer player was foam prewrap. http://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Rainbow-Sports-Pre-Wrap-colors/dp/B00CA5IA4G

One roll will make lots of headbands and it sticks to hair really well.

We've had our grey with SLO for 8 years and we have found great success with four 1000mg fish oil capsules, two 180mg vitamin E capsules, and a dosage of Doxycycline every day. I will say it took a LONG time for us to see consistent progress and even now a nail will still break once in a while but they are few and far between, finally. It also took us awhile to find the right dosage of meds and the right food (he's on Nutro Max). It really sucks, but if you stay consistent with meds and supplements, I promise it will get better!

Can I offer you some tips on dealing with it in the meantime? We've had a lot of practice so I love to share that knowledge, though you may have already gotten some of this advice from your vet.

• Buy gauze in bulk!
  
• Athletic pre-wrap and athletic self-sticking wrap are fantastic for keeping the gauze in place. Be careful not to wrap too tight — you don't want to cut off circulation.
  
• If you're not comfortable wrapping her paws yourself, get comfortable. It will save you so many trips to the vet! Ask your vet if they will teach you how to wrap if you're not already familiar with wrapping techniques.
  
• Styptic powder is a godsend for when a nail breaks and the blood is gushing everywhere. Dab it on with cotton balls.
  
• Don't wrap until the bleeding has stopped, if you can. Otherwise the blood soaks the gauze and then dries and when you peel it off it will hurt and sometimes cause the wound to reopen. A hard lesson for us. If you have to wrap because your grey just won't sit still to let you apply pressure, we have found some success in letting ours lick his foot JUST UNTIL the bandage comes free. Obviously don't let them lick obsessively or that will reopen the wound as well, but it seems to help with getting dried, bloody bandages off.
  
• Breathable dog booties are really helpful for keeping them from licking the wound while enabling you to keep it unbandaged after it has stopped bleeding/semi-healed (we found ours at Pet Smart but they are similar to these). We also have a set of waterproof booties that we put on both bandaged and unbandaged injured paws when he goes outside to keep the area clean and dry.
  
• Keep all of this stuff together in a big ziplock baggie near where your grey hangs out the most so you can easily grab it quickly when a nail comes off and prevent them from trailing blood all over your house!
  
• That said, we've found a combo of Resolve Stain Remover and hydrogen peroxide to be the best for getting blood out of the carpet.
  
  I hope this is helpful and if I can answer any more questions, please feel free to ask! I'm sorry you're going through this and are still in the early, frustrating stages where you're finding what works and your pup is still in pain a lot. Bigby says, it gets better!

You can use pre-wrap to make a cheap headband that doesn't slide around

First, I do this both with pre-wrap and then a self-adhesive wrap (compression wrap) or ACE bandage.

I like to wrap the foot once then cross over the top of the foot to just above the ankle bones, one full wrap around the leg, cross to the foot, repeat until there's enough pressure/support or I run out of material on the roll.

Weird but get some prewrap tape. It's cheap too. You can make a headband or wrap a few times for a hairband. It's crazy strong and the only thing that holds my daughters massive thick curly hair. It is also the only thing I have found that doesn't leave a big dent in either of our hair http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CA5IA4G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?qid=1464724983&sr=8-1&keywords=prewrap&pi=SX200_QL40

Yes! I'm allergic to tape & bandaids. When I need something big covered up I use sports pre-wrap, like this: https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Rainbow-Sports-Pre-Wrap-colors/dp/B00CA5IA4G
