This invention applies direct pressure in such a way as to be effective on a furry and hairy wound, and enable continued mobility by a mammal, especially a horse. The invention also proposes a means of providing a tougher protection for the wound while simultaneously dressing it. The preferred mode of invention proposes a rubberized flexible elastic latex pad applied to the wound, and integrating into that latex pad a bandage mechanism that stretches the pad and can be cinched extremely tightly so that the elastic latex pad applies pressure to the surface of the wound by virtue of the tightly cinched bandage and can be cinched to be a tourniquet if desired.
