ABSTRACT:
An electrically actuated apparatus for discouraging animals from instinctively licking their wounds including an elongated flexible substrate which is foldable upon itself to form a laminate configuration with a battery receiving pocket formed at the fold-over area. Conductive traces are provided in circuit with the battery power source to provide a field across the exposed conductive traces to deliver an electrical impulse to the animal upon contact with the tongue or other sensitive tissues surrounding the mouth. In addition, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer is provided to coat the back surface of the laminate configuration to bond the apparatus to the body of the animal in a location closely adjacent the site of the wound.
