My JRT had a lump on her paw- went to vets, had it analysed etc, they said it would go by itself eventually, just let it be. It has now (finally!) gone, but where it was there is just bare skin, no hair on it anymore.
I compete her at agility and my local training place is at an equestrian centre, the surface has loose rubber on top which she has never liked but coped with- until now. She isn't lame on it but is really reluctant to jump- I can't keep forcing her to do it but I can't just give up agility because of one tiny bald spot!!
Any ideas?
I should mention, she is an absolute wimp! :p
 
Dab on surgical spirit,it makes girth galls in horses disappear in days,it will work..dab twice daily for a week or so.
 
Will it hurt if she licks it off? She's a very 'licky' dog and I don't think she'll like it very much! Don't want another excuse for her to start throwing up! :o
 
I was soaking it in salt water just to get it to heal, it did dry it up nicely but now its not doing anything :(
Will have to buy all equipment to practise at home in the back garden :p if only I had money!
