I went and looked, because I had heard that Apple Cider Vinegar on the spots would help, and that might deter licking. You can also add it to their food (maybe mixed in with beefy wet food to disguise flavor?) or in pill form to get the ACV into their system, which also effects how their skin tastes to the mites that cause mange. Maybe add some to his water dish?

There’s also a dog bath recommendation here with a mixture of Borax (20 Mule Team) and Hydrogen peroxide.

How about a cone to keep him from licking? You can find them at a Farm Supply store, or the Vet, of course.

Hi, Diana! Thanks — I’ll try the ACV. If nothing else, the darn dog will probably lick it off, thereby ingesting it. :-)

My wife mentioned a cone too - I looked at our local “Rural King” store, but no luck. Will try Tractor Supply.

I’ll have to try the cone, if all else fails.

“Lucky” hates the vinegar, but licks it off rapidly anyway. So at least it’s in his system.
