This may not be what you would expect, but first see what he is doing to the area when he licks it. If he is only licking it, it will probably help heal it faster. Watch him for a minute or so and see if it is damaging the area. If he is biting or picking at it, then keep trying to cover it. My dog had a small wound on his leg once (the white shepard). Anyway, we did all kinds of things to try and keep him from licking it....not only was it frustrating, we did more damage. Then we were like what the heck, and let him lick it. It healed right up in no time! Like I said, see what he does and if it isn't harmful, ask the vet if it is ok to let him do that. |
