put a t-shirt on her & socks on her back paws... it'll help keep the sore from getting dirty & also help it from being scratched with her nails... when Max gets bitten by black flies, he wants to chew & scratch himself... I put jean shorts on him & it heals real quick & of course I put medication on it as well... but try the clothing... & its also super cute to see ur dog in clothing & even cuter when its dino boxers... hehe
