A veterinary educational videos for Miniature Schnauzer owners to teach them health care of the older dogs.
 
This Schnauzer has multiple skin melanomas which is seen in certain dog breeds like the Miniature Schnauzer.

The dog came for a review of the generalised ringworm skin disease and eyelid tumour.  The skin disease has mostly recovered. The right eye still has a corneal ulceration and scars. The lower eyelid tumour had been removed, but the eye white is still congested, suggesting that the dog is rubbing his right eye. Ear hairs need to be plucked.

An e-collar is advised. A lot of cutaneous melanomas are seen. One of them is itchy and bleeding, soiling the floor of the house.
