Stopping a dog eating a dressing!!
the family dog has got a tumour type growth on his back leg and it has to have a dressing on it to stop him from licking it and making it very sore & exposed..
however he started eating the dressing when left alone so the vets gave him one of those cones to wear when he wasn't being watched.. but he's now figured out how he can still get to it even with the cone on.
Obviously it's alright when he is being supervised him as we can stop him from touching it, but he can't be watched 24/7.
And due to his age, its likely he s going to have to have a dressing on this until he passes away so is there a trick to getting a dog to stop eating dressings?
Tried putting mustard and chilli powder on it to keep him from chewing it but that seemed to make him love it more.
Currently trying a muzzle on him, but the problem with that is he can't drink water so it's not the best solution.

With the cone he had he found maneuvering around very difficult as he s a very big dog so a bigger one would cause more problems for him, it seems actually since i posted this that he s managing to sip water through his muzzle gaps which is good.
