Does anyone know anything about treating a dog who continues to lick the top of his paw until he develops a sore? He just won't give it up on the top of his back right paw. It's been more than a month. He licks the sore which is about the size of a dime. There's no infection. She keeps putting anti-infection cream on it and she's wrapped it in sterile gauze and bandages. She has also sprayed it with bitter apple. It is not infected - she made sure of that. She has also called her vet and left a message. He gave it a name and said it was one of the hardest things for vets to treat, because it's partly physical (it itches) and partly psychological. Any help you can give would be most appreciated. Please answer privately. Barbara ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
