<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>Hi, first I would like to thank all of you for so
much help and suggestions on hot spots.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>We finally found a way to stop her from licking
her front foot.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>But first, I poured hydrogen peroxide on it, and
it bubbled up some, then tapped it dry with cotton, then applied a good dose of
Gold Bond powder. Then here is what worked. We got a old saline bag
from the vet, cut it in half, made a few holes around the top, used a shoe lace
to tie it on, and she has a plastic boot.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>I also cut some holes in it, so there is plenty of
air circulation in there. she is also temporarily on Medrol, to control
the itching, and that has already helped.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>The other thing we tried, but it didn't work so
well, we took a neck cone, a very very small one, and used it on her leg
instead, so she couldn't reach her foot to lick.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>But it didn't say on as well and it was a little
awkward. I even used it tied with a shoe lace, and let it just hang
loosely around her neck, and it would be just enough, some of the time, so she
coudlnt reach her foot. But the baggie thing is working the best so
far.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>Couldn't use the cone thing on her neck, her
balance is still a little off, so didn't want to interrupt her vision with a
cone.............i apologize, for so long.......</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>

foot.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
