Update

Casey's hotspot is drying out. She looks phenomenally stupid in her licky colllar, and she knows it. It took her all day to muster the self esteem to go out in the yard. But it's a beautiful day here and so I just spent 15 minutes sitting in the sunshine petting her and telling her she's wonderful.

However, dogs are shallow beasts, and I think she'd really feel better if I made Sparky wear a licky collar, too.
