As some of you may have read we have adopted 2 new dogs.

this is about Bear the 5yr old Rottweiler with Hypothyroid.

Shes SUPER fat (170p ) & because of this the has layed down a lot causing her to get really bad callus' on her lebows, & ummm doggy heels. They are so bad that they are bleeding & one is pussing a little.

With my old dog, I would use polysporn & peroxide to clean it, then use a medicated moisturizer to help it go away.

Bear was in the pound for 3.5 months, so I'm sure she was laying down on filthy concrete (why its infected)... I poked at them last night & they didn't seem to hurt her, or shes too sweet to care that I was hurting her.

We're trying to avoid the vet if possible, ONLY to reduce her stress. Its very stressful getting her into the SUV, as Chad & I have to lift her butt in, cause shes too fat to jump in on her own (getting onto her couch isn't easy for her either)... & We fear she'll think we're gonna leave her at the vet & never take her home again. Shes stuck to us like glue, & she is VERY sensitive.

We have to take her to the vet every 4 months, so if I can get this under control on my own, it'll be great!! I have done lots of first aid on dogs, so I have no issues with cleaning & taping her legs up, to stop her from licking.

Someone is home with her nearly 24/7 as Chad isn't working, so keeping an eye on her is very easy.
