| Another question The pups tails were docked @ 3 days old (on Tuesday). Two of them have healed fine but the Momma dog is determined to lick the others tail constantly. I called the vet and they said to put Neosporin on it and that the amoxicillin she is on is being transferred thru the milk and will help the pup also. Does anyone know any tricks or tips for keeping the med on the tail? Keeping the mom from licking it off? Something other than neosporin that would be harder to lick off? |

| Forgot to mention the reason Im a bit worried about it is b/c its oozing. Not alot but some. The vet said the amox. will take care of the infection but to try to keep her from licking off the neosp. How in the world do I do that? |
