My doggie has a calus. HELP! :(?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

lots of dogs get these. i suggest you take her to the vet. it's probably nothing to be concerned about but he may have an idea. try posting this in the dog section. you'll get better responses.
