Silly Molly! It can be so frustrating trying to get a lip abrasion to settle! You could try putting a little bid of sudocreme or savlon antisceptic cream on the lip, or failing that some vaseline to act as a barrier. She will likely lick it off no matter what. If it is very superficial it should eventually settle down, however if it is getting worse she may need antibiotics and medicated cream from the vet.
