dog with a sore lip

My weimaraner bitch aged 14 has bitter her flew several times as she has fits (now controlled) The wounds are superficial (not puncture) absolutely clean, no pus or inflammation but they just dont heal. 2 of our lovely local vets have looked at them and said that the problem is that she liplicks after feeding grooming and so on and that is slowing the healing. Dog is not in pain....doesn't even notice the wound IMO and vets have said not to worry. The last time she bit herself was august this year.
Obviously you can't bandage or dress the wound and surgical intervention isn't an option, as I have said she is quite happy but it would be nice if we could get her healed. She is diabetic (well controlled) but this hasn't affected the healing of other wounds.

sooo folks, any suggestions please?
