Biscuit (8/12) ~ month of the pink bandage

            Biscuit's torn toe nail has turned into a big ordeal this month.

Aside from the obvious pain it initially caused him (I mean seriously, ouch!) he's been to the vet twice to have it bandaged, antibiotics and anitinflammatories. Both times as soon as the bandage has come off - a few days later to allow it to dry out and air - he's not left it alone, lick lick lick. I tried a bootie, it became too wet and soggy outdoors, and indoors he would lick the boot anyway, I tried a sock with a plastic bag on outings, again it would either come off or become wet from his licking indoors, I tried a cone, he pushed it down over the top of his paw and was able to lick his toenail anyway. The vet gave me an antiseptic yucky tasting spray, he licked through that too.

I mistakenly was taking him for walks too where he'd walk through the grass and it would become wet and dirty.

My last solution has been successful for at least a few days now, unfortunately (and it's been hard for me to do this) it means no walks, but I have to let it dry out and heal without his tongue. I've taped a sock onto his foot, and plastic bag for toilet stops outdoors, changing the sock out if the plastic bag gets a hole, he has stopped licking it through the sock now, so fingers-crossed I can keep this up for a week or so and it will be good to go!
