Is there a way to waterproof foot wrap?

A couple of girls are nearly healed from mild bumblefoot. No more scabs but their footpads are a little tender so I'm keeping them wrapped until the skin thickens a bit more.

Problem is I live in Seattle and we are full bore into rainy season. It rains pretty much daily and the ground stays wet.

I let my girls free range in our suburban backyard. And of course their footwrap is getting soaked. (It's like 10 thin layers of gauze and self adhesive vet wrap).

Is there anything I can do to keep the moisture from penetrating through all the layers?

I know it's not good for the moisture to sit next to their healing skin. I don't want to keep them locked in their dry run all day. But I also don't want to change their wraps everyday!

Any ideas?

Isn't the Vetwrap water-resistant? I've used it several times and thought it seemed to be, but it's not like they were in puddles of water either.

I wonder if these water-block bandaid pads would work. The bad thing is, there are only 10 of them in a box, and you'd probably use 4 on each foot, but maybe there's something like those that are cheaper.
