Friday when I took the dogs for a walk I noticed Sampson has been licking at his paw again. 🙁

He had licked it so much, I was afraid another day or two of licking and it would be bleeding.

Unfortunately his appointment with the Holistic Vet is not until the 12th of April, so I decided to wrap it.

I went into the medicine box and lo and behold I found a bottle of Vetericyn VF for wound and skin care.  The directions say to apply three to four times per day, you can use either with or without wrapping.

I opted to wrap it, to keep him from licking it off.

He doesn’t care for it at all, but it keeps him from licking it.

I’ve watched him closely both in the house and on our walks.  He is not favoring his paw, he’s not limping or complaining about it.  In fact he is running and jumping as he always has.

I’m not sure exactly what is going on with it, whether it hurts and he’s very good at hiding his discomfort, or if he’s licking out of habit.  But until we know, I’ll be keeping a sharp eye (and a bandage) on it.

We also found out our friend Cali from The Daily Dog Blog is feeling under the weather.  If you have a minute stop by and show her Mama Julie so love.  She’s really worried about Cali.

Feel better soon Cali!  We love you!!
