|
|
Libby has two sore patches, one on her front leg and one on her back leg. I think Jake has bit a little to hard with his needle teeth and she has made things worse with licking. Anyone have any good recommendations on what I could put on her legs to help them heal and to stop her licking? _________________ Dogs are like Chocolate, you just can't have one! |

when Murphy had sore paws I used the TCP spray plaster on them! He didn't attempt to lick at them after I'd sprayed that on. Might be worth a try???? |

If she keeps licking it I have a buster collar you can use to keep her away from it. |

Could it be bald patches on her elbows caused by hard floors? _________________ John Thomson

I don't think so John, one is at the front of her fore leg and the other is in the middle of her thigh on her hind. _________________ Dogs are like Chocolate, you just can't have one! |

Fiona is she still licking it? I can bring that buster collar to the puppy walk tonight if you want, they don't like tham much but work a treat in stopping them, or i can bring up the bitter apple I think you are supposed to be able to spray it on them if they are bitting/licking parts of their bodies to stop them doing it. |
