My Golden (4 years) scratched his leg about a year ago. He licks the wound and irritates it non-stop. I’ve tried antibiotics, medications, an e-collar, ace bandages, etc. and nothing works. If I bandage it, he licks around the bandage causing more wounds and if I use an e-collar, he licks the tip of his toes until they bleed. I’m going crazy. Any ideas? |

Could it be that your dog is bored? Do you take him for a walk every day, or do you have a treadmill for him? Have you taught him any commands besides the basic sit, down, stay, come, and heel? Does he have chew toys, such as raw femur bones from the butcher? Does he like to play fetch? I think if you keep your dog from being bored, he won’t be licking his wounds so often – and may even stop altogether. |
