redness by my puppy’s elbow joints?
Ok my 9 month old American pitbull terrier puppy has been up to date regarding her health (vaccines, dewormers) daily brushing, monthly bathing, daily exercise on grass (fetch) and daily walks for an average 30-45 min. I noticed these small red skin inflammation of some sort near here front elbow joints they aren’t fully visible they have hair over them but you can still see up close and from a short distance some redness from her skin at that place. They aren’t bumpy feeling they’re dry and a bit crusty looking and she isn’t in any pain when I feel them or with any type of movement. Im wondering if they’re sores of some sort or something serious regarding skin or joint problems. I have a few pictures so please any help would be appreciated. Most likely i’ll have her seen by a vet soon if they resume. Thank you

oh no ! i hope she doesnt have arthritis
It could just be a rash, I would have her seen by a vet though, it could be something serious.
No - you can still call your vet but it’s just normal wear and tear.
i wouldn’t worry about it right now. Since the fur is white, it’s easy to mistake red skin spots as bruises and infections. my white lab has had those similar spots since we got him, and the vet says they’re nothing wrong. if your dog starts to limp or not want to walk around, then i would call the vet. if not, it’s just like the skin on our elbows. dry and cracked, but fine.
I would take her to the vet. If you can’t then put a glob of NEOSPORIN on it and bandage it up with gause and doctor tape but don’t put the tape directly on the red spot or on her fur because it will tear her poor hair out. Just kind of tightly but not real tight wrap the tape around the gause and leave on for four hours then take off to air out. Do it again in about two or three more hours later. If it starts to work then continue doing it. It should help her after the first dose but really noticeably after the second dose. Try it. It should help alot. If not then don’t continue doing it, but it should.
I have a Black Lab and he got the same thing on his elbows. It started out looking like he got hurt or bitten and eventually it turned into what looks like a calus. My vet told me it was normal because when he lays down he rubs either elbow on a hard floor, carpeting, tile, deck wood, concrete, grass or whatever else he lays down on! At times I rub some vaseline on them but he usually licks it off anyway.
Just to be safe you should see what your vet says! Good luck!
