In the last couple of weeks my hunting golden retriever has developed a patch on his arm he keeps licking. Vet buddy seems to think it's likely stress/anxiety driven since we just added a baby into the house 3 weeks ago. We've been trying to wrap it and treat it topically but the wraps don't last too long on there without him gnawing at it. We catch him licking it incessantly which is keeping it raw. Suggestions?
It's been hard to decipher whether he's licking it because of stress/anxiety OR licking it (to self treat it) just as he would any wound on his or my body.
The top part is where it started (gray) and appears to be healing, the lower (pink) part is the newest location
