When my cousin had her dogs dewclaws removed her boyfriend made little cones to go over her feet instead of her wearing a big cone. You could also try a doggy sock they sell them at petsmart. I suggest getting the kiss e collar for emergency's. I bought one for Callie when she had to have knee surgery but she never licks her wounds so i never had to use it but it is a lot more comfy then the plastic ones and now I have it for any emergency's.
