Elbow sore
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me please. My male bully has had a sore on his elbow since March. When I clean it I apply some pressure to remove fluid thats built up which is like watery blood. The vets have put him on antibiotics and it looks like it's starting to help but then flares up again. He's had the basic testing done and it's come back as just inflamed skin and no infection at all. Next step is for him to be sedated and to have tiny part of the weeping skin removed for more in depth testing. Before he got this sore he was on skinners hypoallergenic dried food but I though I'd put him on "natures choice" raw food and after a bit this sore appeared. I don't know if it's coincidence as I though raw was meant to be better for them. I've now swapped him back on to the skinners to see if that makes a difference.
The first picture is at its worst when the vet said to just clean it and not to apply pressure and remove the build up fluid. After a day it went all bubbly and burst out the holes where it weeps from. The second picture is what it's like at the moment with me removing the built up fluid.

BulliesofNC, I will look for that balm you've suggested. Buddy has a plastic bad with big padded cushion in it but 99% of the time he either sleeps on my bed or on the sofa, i could put a blanket on the sofa to make it softer as our sofa is leather. Thank you for ur comment.
