My Lab has a sand rubbed rash between her toes after the beach. Can I use diaper rash medicine and wrap it so she doesn't lick. It is not an allergy, she just didn't get her feet rinsed after a long day of play. Please help with suggestions.

You can use witch hazel or coconut oil.
Poor pup! Sending up healing wishes!
Check with your vet before using any topical so they can confirm it is OK (they should do this for free over the phone). If you are on vacation, next best thing is to ask the hotel for a vet recommendation and call them. I always do this because they know what is harmful and what is safe for your fur baby.
We got the OK to use Mushers Secret when our boy has paw issues....it is not cheap, but it really helps him with his various and sundry issues.
If you have to use a clear "cone of shame" for a few days, that would prevent the licking, but also makes them so sad and frustrated. The clear ones are a little better than the old fashioned opaque ones...but still.
Hope your pup heals quick and can get back to the beach!
Be sure and check with you Vet before trying to put anything on the rash. Sometimes just exposing things to the air, and keeping them clean and dry works best.
