dbullwinkel Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Missy is a foot licker..I have tried everything. I check regularly for sores, etc. this morning I saw a small sore in the folds of her foot, on the side. I know this has been discussed here in the past..if I remember correctly, soaking in epson salt really helps heal. But, do I need to do anything else such as ointment or bandage. she will rip the bandage off in 2 seconds though. Maybe benadryl to relieve itching? thanks.

PatricksMom Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Epson salts should help it feel better, if nothing else. According to my vet, benadryl won't help with healing, and if your dog is a real licker, the antibiotic cream just encourages them to lick it off. Have you tried "taping" a baby sock on, with vet wrap at the top of it? Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).
