You can get your dog an Elizabethan collar. This is just a plastic cone-shaped collar that makes it so the dog cannot get to lick himself. You can make one from cardboard if you need to. You should have taken your dog to the vet if the paw has been injured badly.
This is a natural instinct for dogs to do. If it is not tolerated, put a funnel collar on the dog.
Put a plastic cone around your dogs head and that should stop him/her. Avalible from most vets.
You don't, dogs have anti-bacterial properties in their saliva, it will heal better if you don't interfere...
put vaseline on it or put that stuff called..... no lick or something on his nose. it works for me!
You have have to use one of those cones that go around the neck.
give him attention
Buy flea shampoo and give the dog a bath
You can get your pet a cone for around$10-$15, it will prevent dog from licking stitches. (My dog licked her stitches and got 4 staples with no anesthesia)
Ask your vet to but a cone on your dog. Also putting her in a piece of clothing would prevent her from getting at her stitches. If she is just licking them it really is not a problem. It's perfectly normal for a dog to lick it's wounds. As long as she is not trying to pull the stitches out I would not be concerned.
Put a neck collar on the dog.
Feels good, man.

No, it is a common misconception that the dog is licking Will Smith's face, when in fact it is licking what appears to be the man next to him. That is why the dog is not licking Will Smith in the face.
there might be something wrong with your other dog. Dogs can sense things we cannot.
Sometimes when the vet has spayed the dog they can often end the stitching (a knot) leaving a piece of the stitch too long that can dig into the dog's belly. Either you can cut off the extra or take the dog back to the vet (there should be no additional cost for this) and have them check the stitches out. Stitches don't stick to the skin, but are sewn in. The vet would have told you when to bring the dog back to have the stitches removed. If the wound looks good and the dog is irritated by the stitches (each dog, just like a human can heal quickly or slowly) perhaps it's time for the dog to have the stitches out. See your vet right away!
If your dog is licking the girls, you need to stop the behavior. Gently, but firmly tell the dog no when it does it.
either it's itching or it's infected...
My little Yorkie has skin allergies, the vet told me that she is licking at her feet, at the air, at nothing because she itches. Hope this helps. Elle
