Seriously the call to the vet and my google searches

Aww poor girl. I don't think it's uncommon but you are right, how do they do it?

Could it have been an abrasion from the inside out, like passing a little sliver of a dry bone that she may have found and eaten? Try as we might, when going off leash in the wild, they can find little pieces of stuff and eat and swallow without us seeing a thing... Asha finds really dry old bones like deer leg bones and when she bites down on it, it shatters like glass. I know she gets some of these every so often and if I yell at her to put it down, she does, but she swallows whatever little pieces are in her mouth.

Pepper does do the same in the woods. Hence, the diarrhea incidents too. A lot of the time she stands there and looks at whatever it is and at me over and over… therefore, I know she found something and I say leave it lol. She gives herself away it’s really funny and I appreciate the “look mom I found something”.

I do think it was an outside incident like she rubbed something or hit it. Today the black skin is really raw looking. It does look like it was torn off on whatever she came in contact with. She did this to her snoot once and this looks the same just a larger portion missing on her butt. Today it’s not weeping thankfully that was bothering her when it was doing that.

Try and keep it clean with a good wound care solution and add some antibiotic ointment.
