Things You'll Need
- Anti-licking topical product
- Bandage
- Neck collar
Instructions
Apply a bitter tasting product to your cat's belly. Some tastes, such as bitter apple, will keep the cat from licking. Do not apply any products to an open wound and only apply them under the direct supervision of your veterinarian.
Place a bandage over the area your cat is licking. This will work for some cats, while others will tear it off.
Get a neck collar from your veterinarian. While wearing a neck collar, your cat will not have access to its belly. Keep the collar on while the wound, stitches or surgery site heals.
