Hi Samarth, this condition is called as elbow hygroma. Due to excessive friction there will be fluid accumulation in the elbow. It is important to give them soft bedding and avoid rough surfaces while sleeping

Ok doctor thank you will get back to you by evening
Dr. Supriya
If hygroma is already present it should treated either by applying pressure bandage or remove it surgically

Samarth Praveen

My dog( 1year old shihtzu ) is a very picky eater, i have tried everything that a dog might like for example rice, curd, vegetables,sweet potatoes. He starves himself until he gets chicken and for obvious reasons i cannot feed him chicken all day, what to do
And some other dog parent suggested me to stop feeding him kibbles because it is packed food and home made food is healthier for dogs, is that true?2 comments•31 views
