bole elbows
Cheers, we always have plenty of E45 hanging around and similar stuff as my
daughter suffers from eczema. Doug is only 13months old so he's not an old dog. As I said before they don't bother him, I'm sure he doesn't even know they are there. Shell "Diana" wrote in message ... "Mark/Shell" wrote in message ... [..] It's difficult to stop him laying down on either concrete or tarmac as that is what is outside our back door. He likes to lie there for hours on end. He does lie in the "sphinx"position more often than not whereas my other dog lies more on his side. Do you suggest me rubbing a cream like e45 etc on the patches? I had the same with my GSD ~ only when we adopted her she was pretty much calloused all over from 'streetlife'. She too liked to lie on her elbows ~ though never on concrete unless we were out. Even though our house is fully carpeted it was still hard to avoid them but yes, Vaseline or E45 will help them keep soft. I also used aloe vera on them in the last year where her mobility was getting harder and they got much worse as she moved to lay down more heavily, which healed any cuts very quickly.
