A golden retriever has elbow sores (calluses, hygromas)

An old golden retriever had calluses on both elbows. The left one had been excised and there is no more dangling black lumps of loose elbow skin. The right one had just been excised by Dr Daniel on Sunday Dec 21, 2014. I noted the swollen paw due to tight bandaging when the owner came to bring the dog home, 3 hours after surgery. He had spinal surgery and so could not lift the dog as before. Dr Daniel removed the tight bandage and replace with a loose one. Bandaging is to prevent injury to the stiched area.
