: I have an eight year old with those pendulous
: calluses also, and they are not removable..
: The problem is that they are located on the
: elbow, a bending joint, you have to remove
: the area with a little more regular skin
: with it, and there is not enough skin to
: keep the wound closed when the leg bends.
: The calluses are made up of scar tissue, so
: you cant remove just a part of them, scar
: tissue will not come together and heal
: either.

: Our 5 year old english mastiff has large
: hanging sacs on his elbows because he likes
: to lay on the hard floor and the vet says
: these have formed because he drops his
: weight onto the elbows each time he lies
: down. Our vet says there has not been much
: sucess in removing these because they do not
: heal properly. Has anyone else had and
: experience with this and had sucess removing
: them? They are getting larger all the time
: and are very unsightly. He comes into our
: Watch and Jewelry Shop with us each day and
: is a hit with everyone. But need to get rid
: of these.
