Old English Mastiff Discussions / Bleeding pressure sores!!!!
« on: August 08, 2008, 07:22:34 am »
Hey, everyone!
I just adopted a six year old Mastiff who has pressure sores on his feet. One in particular has become a bleeding oozy mess....the vet confirmed that it is a presure sore. It is not a typical calloused area....more thick and squishy and if he bumps or scrapes it the bleeding starts!
I have ten years of vet tech background and know it probably cannot be excised and successfully closed.
Does anyone have any tricks or ideas about how to deal wiht these?
