Anon101, reread my message to the OP. I did not advise the OP to cover the wound or do anything. I stated the behavior my dog had when she had a hot spot.
After you stated to the OP what you would do, I stated directly to you, not the OP, that my vet did advise to loosely cover the area to prevent chewing and licking of the wound.
In my opinion, chewing and licking an already infected wound is more likely to create an environment for bacteria and infection to flourish than loosely covering a wound to prevent chewing and licking. So I suggest we agree to disagree on this point.
