I have a pup who consistlantly licks around his mouth and on the top of his nose and has created a sore on his nose which wont heal tried muzzle dont work any treatment I put on there he licks off can I remove his tongue 🤣
Surprised Carole hasnt suggested a remedy for you Jason
Only thing that I can think or offer which I think isnt or mighten be enough is b1 natures own 250mg 1 tablet morning and night
It helps calms nervous or stressed Dogs a heap , takes a couple of weeks to kick in but it definitely takes the edge off them and is all natural and doesnt swab
With the use of rawleighs antiseptic cream on nose with a barking muzzle placed on for a few hours , it works wonders on wounds
Good luck cheers

I have been thinking about it, Nathan ! Jason, is the sore on his nose caused by wearing a racing ( wire ) muzzle at all ? Hydrogen peroxide and aloe vera gel ( from the plant,) are also very good healers, and have a very bitter taste, which the dogs don't like licking. Also, does he have a brown stain on the sides of his mouth where he constantly licks it ? If he has, it could mean something else.
Whats a brown stain on the side of a dogs mouth Carole ? I have one of those , I just figured he was a messy eater and Id be buggered if Im wiping his mouth every morning and night haha
Please tell , very interested as hes healthy and doesnt lick it at all and usually gets results on track too , he is on thyroid but
Cheers

Nathan, it can often, but not always, be a sign of a throat infection/tonsillitis, or some liver trouble.. We have seen quite a few of these over the years, and if the dog has a problem with its health or racing form, these things are well worth looking into and getting fixed.
