how can i stop my other dog licking a sore on my other dogs neck until 2 morrow?

Question

i have 2 dogs and one of them has a sore on its neck, and my other dog keeps on licking it and its making it 10 times worse. I need solutions and fast

Answer 1

I know that the other dog is just trying to help because dogs are like that towards each other, I wasn't thinking that it would actually make it worse but put something over it to cover it so that the other dog cant get to it, maybe a napkin with tape on it or a scarf/bandana.

Goodluck hope I helped!

Answer 2

HI
I tend to agree with all the others when they say the one is only doing what comes natural to him by licking it he is trying to help out and clean it
I can only imagine what would happen if you separate them allot of howling so I Would take a bandage and here is a concoction I always make for my Pets when they have a sore and you are going to be amazed as to how quickly it is going to heal
OK Take some Iodine or Betadyne pour it in a disposable Tupperware container enough to cover the bottom of the bowl then pour in some sugar enough to make a paste then Take a Gauze bandage and put it on the sore then wrap it with the stuff you can buy @ any pet supply store to wrap wounds it it elastic type gauze and leave it for 24 hours then let it air for about a hour and repeat and you will be amazed @ how quickly it will heal it is getting sanitized and healing all @ the same time
I seen this on Animal Planet The ones From Houston who rescue animals and they did it on a horse who had a huge gaping wound and ever since I seen that I have used it and I swear by it now
So Good Luck to you

You can get Bitter Apple Spray to put around the sore area but not directly on it, to stop the other dog from licking, or place a bandage over the sore, or you may have to keep the dogs separated if the one won't leave the sore alone. Dogs naturally lick at wounds, so he's just trying to help his buddy out, but unfortunately making it worse.

Hmmm. I don't know about your dogs, but I have 2 Shih Tzus, both of whom have allergies and are prone to "hot spots" which lead to licking, scratching, biting, and sores, as well as pinkish or darkening of their white hair due to siliva. We have tried different things, but here is what works well:

1) Gold Medal Medicated Shampoo: Helps Relieve Dry, Itchy, or Flaky Skin Problems" (green; includes Aloe Vera & Panthenol) - wee get it at PetsMart. You can see a photo of this product or purchase it at http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Medal-Formula-Cardoplex-Shampoo/dp/B000P0X9NK. This reduces the excessive licking, et cetera, by 80-90% for our dogs.

2) Also, to reduce allergies, we've tried various dog foods. The one that has had the best outcomes is Precise Sensicare with lamb and rice. You can find it at various places. We mail order it from PetExtras at http://store.petextras.com/precsenfor.html . We are also careful to limit treats and are meticulous about what we give, to reduce aggravating potential allergies. One excellent treat are fresh baby carrots.

3) Our Vet gave us Dermalone Ointment (Nystatin-Neomycin Sulfate-Thiostrepton-Triamcinolone Acetonnide ointment) to use on any area where a sore develops on skin tissue. It greatly speeds healing, reducing licking, etc. Great stuff - a little tube goes a long way.

Hope this may help your little buddies,

Answer 5

Its not necessarily worse i don't think, dog spit conatins a natural anti-septic. I think there have been studies on it being very effect even on human wounds... I suppose in excess it can open wound though.

You could separate your dogs.

You could muzzle the licking offender.

You could shield the sore with a loose cloth so to not restrict it and still allow the air to get to it.

Nothing else really springs to mind...

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?326e

Well, my dog didn't know what hit her when he arrived. It was like boot camp for dogs, lol.
But I tell you, in the space of 2 weeks of teaching me how to train my dog, I was already seeing great results.

Especially if you have a little horror of a dog on your hands which clearly shows that she is this way because you let her get this way which in turn shows that you don't know what the hell you are doing as a dog owner.

Don't take offence to that because I was exactly the same way. I have a 5 year old jack russell and when she was 3 she turned into a little nightmare and it was because I let her get that way. I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that she was fighting all the time with my older dog and I had to do something to put a stop to it. Turned out to be the typical dominance issue thing with my younger dog wanting to take over the household and then the world no doubt.

I got a trainer in who was excellent. He moved to Australia from America where I think he used to train police dogs and he spent a good time with me on the phone before I employed him to come and train my dog. He is also a dog behaviourist and I tell you, any question I threw at him he could answer and explain and advise on.


I saw him about 3 or 4 times but to this day I say every cent was worth having harmony in my home. It was either that or I was thinking of putting my dog on medication or getting rid of her. I'm so glad I took the responsibility to fix the problem in the right way. My little dog has turned from complete monster to very well behaved, loyal and obedient little angel. She still has her moments but she knows who's boss in the house and it definitely isn't her.

Go for it, do your research, get references, try to get someone who has behaviour as well as training experience and you should be okay.

Answer 8

Crate the one w/ the sore, or crate the one licking the sore.

Answer 9

Have you thought about separating them.. .. or chain one up... anything to keep them apart..

they have collars at the vet..

wrap the spot so the other dog can't get to it...
good luck

Answer 10

Dogs licking a wound actually makes it heal quicker. When they lick the wound they are removing the dead flesh. So just let them be, you will see it actually is a good thing.
To back up my theory I searched and found this interesting article.
