The WFT was spayed last Wednesday and although she is her usual feisty boisterous self she will not leave the wound alone, licking and biting it.  Could I put something like Savlon on it do you think?  I know I could put her in a buster collar but I know she would go berserk in one!  Any ideas?

I have used Savalon & E45 cream on mine to no ill effect.

Fleur ended up wearing a large t shirt as she was scratching with her back legs as much as licking. Her back legs were through the armholes and her tail through the neck then I fastened it across the front of her chest with a shoe lace. The vet advised calendular cream as she was a bit sore where she had had a dressing but both dogs were trying to lick it off.

The collar is the way to go.  Like it or not I would not entertain her licking that wound any longer.  She will eventually open it up.

Sophie is sporting a red Xmas Tshirt at the moment which seems to be doing the trick!
