A CRUNK BIRD
Sep 29, 2004
I wonder if somebody might have a tip or trick for me. My mom's dumb old dog scraped her paw on a rock at the beach about 5 months ago and hasn't left the wound alone since. She habitually licks and chews at it, not giving it a chance to fully heal. My mom is classically "too nice" to the dog and insisted for months that a pet cone wasn't necessary, she could just keep an eye on the dog and stop her from licking it, etc. Obviously it didn't work and I finally got her to put the drat cone on this dog. The problem is that my mom is a 65 year old lady with a slightly foggy brain who forgets to put the cone back on after letting the dog out, letting her eat, or whatever other reason she takes the cone off the dog for (she is too nice to the dog.) Earlier today this cost us about a week of healing progress as the dog was left alone without the cone for 15 minutes and chewed the scab back open. I really need this thing to heal up.

Does anybody know a good solution to this besides or in addition to the cone? My mom says the dog has chewed through bandages and ignores the supposedly foul tasting stuff she's applied for this purpose. I googled around but I figured folks here might have some good suggestions.
