Taking a Natural
Approach…. Acral Lick Granulomas
, Proud flesh, Ulcers in Dogs Acral lick granulomas are a
common problem in dogs and refer to the raised reddened, tough, rubbery tissue
that results from dogs licking the same area over and over again. The cause of
this is usually because of underlying allergies, anything else that itches in
the area, or possibly from compulsive disorders associated with boredom and/or
anxieties...kind of like us biting our fingernails to the quick. Conventional
treatment can be frustrating in the sense that the simpler treatments that are
likely to be tried at first will prove to be insufficient. So be prepared
for repeated attempts. As a good example look for infection, underlying injury
or bone infection, for other signs of allergies etc. This includes a skin
scraping for mites, especially in young dogs. Of course, if infection, mites,
foreign bodies, thorns, ingrown hairs, or allergies are detected, then solving
such problems will become part of the treatment plan. A
NATURAL APPROACH:
Natural Topical
treatment:
Use Aloe Vera Gel, this drys and
