Guest Shermanator Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Travel has 2 nail bed injuries. On 2 separate paws. I can't get them to heal because she keeps licking. Can't use an e collar because we have a dog door. Can't use socks, she lucks and chews through them. My last resort are shoes. http://www.thedogoutdoors.com/ultra-paws-cool-boots.html We need shoes anyway for the summer. Do you think I can leave these on all day to protect and heal her boo boos? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhndsr4us Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 She could most likely take them off. Mine remove their booties if I am to slow to get to them. Have you tried atropine drops? one drop on the toe a bit above the nail bed. One lick and she will leave it alone. Your will have to get it from your vet. My vet laughed when I told him what I wanted it for the first time. One bottle lasts a very long time. Works great to keep them from licking stitches out.

BatterseaBrindl Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 We used the inexpensive Paws boots when Nixon injured his toe http://pawzdogboots.com/prod_boots/ They're a bit hard to get on, but once it was on he never got it off. The 'blue' size fit him nicely. Quote Nancy...Mom to Sid (Peteles Tiger), Kibo (112 Carlota Galgos) and Joshi.

IansMom Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Have you tried bitter apple spray? You could also try a bite-not collar if you haven't already. That wouldn't interfere with doggie door use. http://www.amazon.com/Grannicks-Bitter-Apple-Bottle-Ounces/dp/B00028ZMEO http://www.bitenot.com Good luck!
