Do you have any tips to keep a bandage on a dogs paw?

Asked by Earthbound_Misfit (13177points) December 3rd, 2014

My dog damaged her toenail and had to have it removed. The vet bandaged the paw, but she pulled the bandage off. We rebandaged it, she pulled it off. She keeps licking the toe and now it’s very swollen. We’ve just rebandaged it again, but I’m certain she’s gone off to find a hidey-hole to rip it right off.

Any tips? I was thinking about painting some of that Stop’n grow stuff on it. You know the stuff that stops you biting your nails? It doesn’t say anything on it about it being dangerous to naughty dogs.
