My bay dog had a wound on his front leg started out about 1" W x 2" L he's been licking it raw now and I can't get him to stop licking. Now it's about 2" w x 4" L because he want stop licking it. I've be putting Med's on it and raping it but he licks the Med's off and chews the rapping off......I also be pop him with 2c's of penicillin once a week.......Should I give him more are what should I do to get this over with??

Depending on how determined your dog is you could try putting bitter apple on the outside of the bandages. That wont stop some really determined dogs in which case Scotts idea sounds like the best next step.

Title: Re: Dog want stop licking wound Post by: cantexduck on March 12, 2014, 05:37:41 pm 2cc of pen one time a week isnt doing much at all. Keep it clean and let him lick it.
Title: Re: Dog want stop licking wound Post by: Bo Pugh on March 12, 2014, 09:25:14 pm I always give mine penisillan 3cc 3 days in a row. Or Cipro or ceflexon works good too. But if it's a open wound and he can lick it I would just spray some vetercyn spray or that cut n heal on there and he should be good. You can get one of them funnel collars for about 25$ at the tractor supply but they are aggravating to fool with unless a dog is bad about pulling his staples of stitches out
Title: Re: Dog want stop licking wound Post by: Reuben on March 12, 2014, 10:02:38 pm cut heal twice a day and 250 mg antibiotic capsules one in the morning and one in the evening...just hide it in some hamburger or just make him swallow..use antibiotics from 7 to 10 days...injecting the dog is ok but it sure does hurt them...leave the cut open, cut heal will make the cut shrink...
