Leg Bandaging?

[Jessa]

Stu came to us with a quarter sized spot on his front leg, about half way up where he skinned it on a kennel door and took out a small chunk. The wound is clean and doesn't bleed or ooze, but Stu wants to lick it for forever. I've been putting a small gauze pad with vet wrap around his leg, but he licks so much that the bandage eventually slides down enough for him to get at it. I correct him whenever I catch him licking, but within a few moments he goes back to it.

 

Any idea how I can keep it covered so that it can heal without him licking? I don't want to wrap his whole leg in vet wrap for such a small wound, but that's all I can think of.

Awesome idea! I think I'll use an old long sleeve shirt of mine and sew it to a similar shape, I think Stu is way too huge to have a sock reach far enough down his string bean legs.
