I didn’t see any mention of “chewing and licking”. Often a vet will recommend a cone if this is an issue. The pet stores have soft ones that may be more tolerable. As far as the wound/abrasion/hot spot being covered vs uncovered, I would go by the treating veterinarians orders, often the client is sent home with a treatment plan/instructions regarding wound care.
Ps: @ CockalierMom Glad your dog responded to treatment and is well
@ Sharon S Hope your dog heals well and is comfortable
Peace out
