How do you put a bandage on back foot - YorkieTalk.com Forums

On Ivy's back foot between her pads their must be a small cut as she keeps licking it and she doesn't want to walk on it . I put hydrogen peroxide & antiseptic cream on it and now I put a bandage on it but she keep taking it off.
If you have any ideas on anything else I should do please tell me as we are going camping this Friday and OMG the dirt.

The only thing I can think of is PJ's with feet

Really any dog will chew off a bandage that's why bonett's
or cones are used by the vet's.
Maybe someone else will come up with something.
Have fun and hope your baby heals nicely.

Have you tried newborn socks? you can tape them on top to give an extra hold.
Good luck.

Thanks, I did think about a sock but I know that will not fly.

I'm sure it's not bad but I don't want it to get that way because of the dirt.

Hmmm...what about the finger/thumb of a glove...but not too tight?

i think the pjs with feet are the only thing that's gonna work if a bandage or a sock doesn't. she'll just keep taking the things off her feet. you'd have to use a cone to get her to leave it alone. OR you can try the bandage again and spray it with bitter apple

Spraying the bandage with the bitter apple (making sure not to get it on the cuts) REALLY works for us!
