Kelpie Licking Leg And Paw - Help Pls


 Share

Recommended Posts

My 11 year old Kelpie licks his leg at every opportunity he gets. He now has 2 red raw spots on this leg. He started near to the site of an old wound (there is no infection but I think he remembers the injury). We now have to keep him in an a plastic clear elizabethan collar all the time (he is calm in it does not seem to bother him, and he is sleeping ok). Unfortunately in the last week he has learnt how to get around the collar by bending it and getting under the collar to his paw. Everytime we leave the house he does this, and makes the paw worse. Does anyone have any suggestions pls.

I taped a sock to my boys foot. He had an injury which caused him to start licking the area which made it hurt so he licked it more.

I started off with socks on all four feet so he was thoroughly distracted getting them all off. Once he became used to them and left them on it healed in a few days.
