My 11/12 year old Labrador has developed ulcers on her elbows.
They started as callouses which she licked constantly then developed into ulcers which look really sore. I took her to the vet who said they were clean but prescribed antibiotics 'as belt and braces' and advised leaving them uncovered and go back in a week.
It seemed to start a couple of weeks after being in kennels. I have hard floors with rugs and she has a good dog bed but seems to prefer lying on the hard floor for some reason.
I have had many dogs during my lifetime (80 years) and this is the first time I have experienced this.
