Rough elbows
|
|
| Norman has the bald rough elbows and the vet said it's nothing to worry about as long as they don't seem to bother him. (Itchy, bleeding, that sort of thing.) She also said we could moisturize them if we felt it necessary but I'm not sure what I would use that's 100% dog friendly in case he or one of the other ones decided to start licking it.
Maybe Panda needs a date at the spa for some paraffin treatments? |
| My first oes had that too.... it never developed into anything more serious.... |
| Bob has a spot like that too. The vet told me I could put neosporin ointment on it a couple times a day.

| I don't think I would use Neosporin unless the spot is cracked open or israw since it's an antibiotic ointment. There is a product out there called "Bag Balm" which is used on cow udders when they get chafed. I pick it up at my local hardware store. It's great for chapped hands too. |
| Okay, thanks....Ill try to get the bag balm...its not bleeding or cracked, just really rough, dry and balding..... |
| Bogey had a spot like that on his right elbow, I believe its from laying on hard or rough surfaces, since he is in the living room or bedrooms most of the time, he is on carpet/beds/couch, its actually softening, and starting to regrow fur in the spot. It wasnt cracking or bleeding so I just kept an eye on it, no lotion. |
| Just want to mention I was treating my rescued dog with bag balm and it spread to his other elbow, then to his paw and eyes. When we got him shaved, the groomer said she sees it all the time, it is from concrete!?, hard surfaces, etc. I explained he sleeps on a cozy dog bed and it seems to spread when treated, so that explanation is impossible, vet diagnosed him with staph infection, so beware. He has to have antibiotics and it will be gone in 3 weeks, then a follow-up visit. Searched online and apparently staph is secondary to allergies. Not contagious to humans... |
