Okay, before you read, please note that this was not a full declaw. Makushin, is double-pawed and had 1 claw on each paw located between his additional digit and his regular digits. As he grew, I trimmed the 2 claws so they would not be a problem, eventually, however, I could no longer trim them because of skin overgrowth. If he did not have surgery, the claws would have grown back into his paw. It would have been inhumane not to do the procedure.
Anyways, the question is...
How do I prevent Makushin from licking his paw without putting one of those tramautizing cones around his neck - he is stressed out enough as is. He is not ultra-aggressive in his licking, but he is licking enough to cause concern. Also, he is on pain medication that will last for 3 days.
