Be very careful with bandages: I have seen vets do bandages much too tight: nurses are sometimes better at bandaging as they get to do it all the time. If it's just stitches on a cut, why is it bandaged? Feet sweat a lot and can easily get infected if there is no air getting to the wound. Can you not get an Elizabethan collar from the vet to stop him licking it?

Take the bandage of and let him lick it.

Right I'm going to take it off he's still not happy with it

I would have said lampshade, but I had visions of him cutting up an old lampshade and trying to make it fit I keep several sizes of the proper jobs: the great thing about the purpose made ones is that the dog can see through them, so doesn't feel blinkered and spooked by not being able to see around it.

Right I've took the bandage off I was going to put a sock over it but he was going nuts trying to rip the sock up Ive no muzzle that fits him so its uncovered ?
