Question:
My doggie has a calus. HELP! :(?
I have a three legged dog. One missing in the front.
Her one front leg has developed a nasty calus, half dollar size - in the elbow area of her arm. Is the a treatment for this? We've tried human lotion, and it seemed to hurt her. If you know anything we can do, we'd really appreciate it. thanks.
Answers:
Try Bag balm it comes in a Square tin canister(it used to be green with a cow on it if i remember right) it was initially made for Animals, but then People started using it as well, My grandma used it for all her ailments - she had throat cancer and had to have a hole in her throat to talk through a electric trachea and when it would get red and irritated she always grabbed the bag balm
if you can't find it ( i think most walmarts sell it)
try Vaseline or neosperion
and if she licks it when there isnt no creams/ lotions on it, it's okay a dog can heal sores faster then any medicine but i know its hard to just let them heal on thier own i've had a lot of animals in my day and every one that ever got hurt i would spend all my free time doctoring them up as much as i could
