You really should get to the bottom of what is causing the lick granuloma, and not just getting the dog to stop. Not enough mental and physical exercise are often the problem. Stress is another culprit. See the vet and get answers to why they are happening. Often putting the cone on the dog gets rid of them until the cone comes off. Then they start right back with the same spots. Some dogs suffer an OCD type thing and need to be put on medications to get them to stop.

Lick sores - also known as Lick granuloma - are brought on by the constant licking of an area on the skin/coat. Take her to the vet and have her fitted for an Elizabethan cone. Sounds stupid, but it's just one of those plastic cones to go around her neck, which will prevent her from aggravating the sores. Lick sores are brought on primarily from boredom, so buy her a few fun, squeaky doggy toys if you are away during the day. Also try bandaging her leg. Otherwise the sore/s will become itchy and eventually ulcerate, which could become dangerous. Good luck!!

Get him what they call an Elizabethan collar - it looks like a cone or a lampshade that the dog wears around its neck. We recently had to put one on our Siberian Husky, because she was attacked by another dog and received a 1 1/2 inch laceration to her left side that required 8 staples (and $250) to close. They are available at any vet or pet store. Good luck!.

She is extremely lovable, yet no discernable breed features. She is a brown patched mackerel tabby and white. What this implies is that she's a black-based striped tabby (brown is used to describe the history upon which the black markings take place as unfavorable to silver), patched ability purple ingredient (like what a tortoiseshell or calico could have however the term "patched" is used with tabbies) and white, which ability she is a bicolor it extremely is what cats with white markings are referred to as. So she's have been given all forms of relaxing shade genetics going on. And for the poster who used the term tabby to examine with a breed, tabby is a development, no longer a breed :)

There's this product I recently saw online that it says, you can spray on their wounds, or furniture, etc- anything you dont want them to touch with their mouth- it's supposed to have a very bitter taste to their disliking...

Click on the Tropiclean products, there will be one called, "Chew Deterrent" under "Specialty" and it reads, "Protects plants, furniture, and wounds."
You may want to ask your vet about it.
Supposibly many pet stores have it such as Petco and Petsmart, you just have to call and ask, I suppose. I'd guess it'd be a lot more comfortable than your dog wearing the cone...

i am not sure why you want to prevent him from licking his/her wounds..that is the "animal way" to repair the damage...i usually clean the wound gently...if it is a brush or sticky substance...attached...to the animal skin or his hair...then afterwards..every day i make sure it is healing...i don't mind his licking because that is the part of the healing process..ask..also a vet...my advice is personal from my dog's experience..voila.
