Last week I shared a story about Sampson and a lick granuloma.
At the suggestion of our friend at the 2 Brown Dawgs Blog, I picked up some EMT gel. If you’ve never heard of EMT gel, it is an all natural gel made of collagen. The gel itself reminds me of a thick super glue, it is used to seal wounds, and is designed to aid in the healing process. The package says it can be reapplied daily.
I’m not sure if the way the gel dries bothers Sampson or not, but Hubby was awakened yesterday morning by Sampson’s licking.
We needed a new plan of action.
We decided to wrap the paw at night, to deter Sampson from licking. If this option doesn’t work, I will be switching to a collar. 🙁
I didn’t have any gauze, so I took a paper towel and cut it into fourths, then I folded the paper towel into a square, placed it over his paw and wrapped it with vet tape.
Look at that pathetic face. As soon as I finished wrapping his paw, he held it out as if to say, what is this?
When I coaxed him up the bed, he refused to use his paw.
When he walked, he walked with a limp.
Yes, my dog is a drama king.
And this is the Monday Mischief Blog Hop hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies and Luna, a Dog’s Life.
