I am an expert due to the millions of injuries Peppa seems to get, but she isn't an obsessive licker so what will put her off might not put other more forceful lickers off.
Where is his injury?

Depends where it is but I've put an old teeshirt on mine, Noel had a longsleeved teeshirt when he had a front leg injury and it stopped him licking.

If he doesn't have a very long neck and depending on where the wound is, Comfy collars (or any of the inflatables) are excellent. Teddy fought his initially, but quickly got used when a treat was introduced and by the time he had his op, he actually loved it (portable pillow) and asked for it back on when I gave him a collar free break.

We've resorted to some very attractive pink pyjama bottoms with the backside cut out (for pees and poos) with Nancy before - with tape over the PJs around the kneecaps to stop them being too MC Hammer... but she is an absolute compulsive licker - to the extent she'll spend her entire evening licking the sofa given half the chance.

As above- depending on where it is, jumper, t-shirt or PJ's all the way here.

Casey is terrible for licking - think he had a lampshade collar that was on and off for months when he fractured his foot - we've used an old pair of tights as well with toes cut out and holes cut in suitable places to allow for toileting duties. Yes he did look silly.

With Lance the only thing that works is staying awake and next to him 24 hours a day! No amount of collars, different types of dressing anything stops him. I just have to be next to him and stop him myself!
