jeppi26 1,855 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I av just got a new dog bull x gray x saluk x grey toke it out of pity more than anything else wasn't looked after at all just used as a tool and that's all it was used for the dog was run down full of worms long claws and in need of a good feed the dog is 100% better apart from a swollen front elbow ad him antibiotics for a week know and it hasn't gone down any the lump is hard it's about the size of a golf ball if not bait smaller. Any ideas on what would help to bring the swelling down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moonlighter 1,164 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Probally caused by laying on hard floors/surfaces. Get it a nice soft bed and it might go down., it might take a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 as moonlighter says could be from laying on bare boards or concrete, i have a dog here who likes to lay out in the run on the slabs, ive put pallets with carpet down for him but he just pisses up them and still lays on the slabs, he gets them on and off, i just ensure theres plenty of waxed paper on the bedboard. i think its fluid as if you massage twice daily it does help it go down quicker but as sadymere says this is all guess work without a photo to look at.

Any ideas on what would help to bring the swelling down? its with the dog laying on hard surface it will have got small cut then it gets infected in the early stage the lump would have been soft filled with fluid which can be drained off but if its gone hard its been left too long without treatment it will need to go to vet he will put a small cut and pack it with antibiotics good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vld 62 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 My dog had this recently after a run out. Vet said if I'd had bandaged it up tight when she did it the fluid would have dispersed by itself and gone down, however, as I'd not done that she stuck a needle in it, drained it and bandaged it up - left her for 3 days with bandage on -and all ok now.
