Oh thanks for the links Chris, that Allercaine looks good. For today I put some Biocaine on it, (looks like the same brand as the Allercaine), and then carefully tried to spritz some bitter apple around the area (she wasn't too happy with that). So far I think it is working to keep her from bothering it. I think I'll get some of that Allercaine though.

Tats, your friend's wound-licking problems reminds me of how Willie was too. Nothing, no matter how foul tasting it was, would keep him from licking and licking a hotspot or sore. He had some skin allergy problems and made some nasty sores on himself a few times. I wonder if he had functioning taste buds because I would put bitter apple, cayenne pepper paste, etc etc, and he'd immediately lick it right on off. I had to use the E-collar.

Thankfully Tasha is not that bad.
