WHO (or whom) are you trying to 'kid'?Originally Posted by Taz_Zoee
They never touch a boo-boo while you're *AWAKE*!
The serious *lickin* starts the second they hear your eyelids slam shut.
Back in the daze of the forever wrapped paw, Mini~Mutt (aka Heidi) could
field-strip a vet-wrapped paw in mere minutes!
One night I RE-wrapped that paw TWICE after she tore off the Vet-version before dinner!
(AND put the dreaded E-Collar back on.)
Dunno WHY, but Doc Jamie never mentioned The Fix till we were letting Heidi bare-paw it
and she kept licking off the Preparation H that was used to promote healing.
"The FIX" was a serious and heavy application of:
"Grannick's Bitter Apple" Taste Deterrent for Dogs - made in Norwalk, CT.

Judging from the *sneezing* that followed a Bitter Apple application,
Miz Heidi was less than 'fond' of the stuff.
Visit you local pet shoppe for a spray jug of the stuff.
AND - you might want to visit the White Coat, too ...
The wound should be looked at to be certain there are no pieces of glass
still in there.
What type of glass was it - a bottle, a window, big pieces, little pieces ???
Last resort - the famous E-Collar - not much else will work to keep a dog's *lickker* off a paw!
Heidi wore an Extra-LARGE E-Collar - she became quite skilled
kicking he bum rear paw INside the standard-size E-Collar where she could have her way
with the poor bandage.
The LARGE collar was a bit of a bother every night when she burrowed in under the
covers on the BigBed - but we all managed to adapt.
Good Luck!
