Chillin' with the herd
My older goat who seems to be having some more general problems (she WON'T eat her grain) has a small wound on her side. It started out about the size of a quarter. By the time I saw it it was already congealed, so I didn't disinfect it, but I have been keeping track of the skin around it, and it never feels hot or infected, nor does it look infected. She got the injury over a month ago. She keeps messing with it, licking it all the time, and it won't heal over because of it. Now it's getting bigger around, as she irritates the skin around it with constant licking. Is there something I can put on it that will deter licking without irritating the wound?
