    Great video from Donna Hill that shows how to make front leg wraps (from leggings or socks) to deter licking after surgery, or if there is Acral Lick Granulomas

    Thanks for the great share!  

    It's super important when starting with leg wraps, etc that the owners supervise the patient at the first to make sure he/she can get around without tripping or slipping AND that the patient isn't ripping it off and eating it.  :)
