What’s this red spot?

[HakuTheDoberman]

Aww is that how he sleeps? Adorable! Before this camera pic, I would have agreed it was a crate scrape although in a rather unexpected spot, but now, I’m inclined to think he sniffed at something infectious while outside and the infectious material got in through a small scrape or a popped pimple. What a mystery!

Aha I know, everytime I check in on him I get the shiny balls I’m my face.

he is a sniffer especially on walks! So it’s very possibly.

I left my girl for approximately 2 hours this am for a dentist appointment. I could hear having a fit once I got to the detached garage......came home to see this.
She was on extra pillows today, because she has started peeing in her crate on the days that I work between the times my husband lets her out......so its a constant washing of the crate bedding on my 12hr work days

Ohhh no that’s rough sorry to hear. Do
You cover the crate with a blanket? That may help calm her down? We use just a regular bedsheet/blanket

I have started doing that at night. She used to only rarely have a fit in the crate. I've also started looking at different crates to reduce risk of injuries like this in the future.

Is she into chewing or suckling? I have similar pillows that I hate and was thinking about giving them to Kaiser but wasn’t sure whether that’s just asking for trouble...

She only really chews on a few of her soft toys at times when she is out of the crate when I can watch her. If I notice her pulling or tearing apart the soft toy I immediately take it away (I'm terrified of blockages). As for as suckling I am not sure, she licks quite often but I haven't really seen her using one of her blankets for suckling. I am ordering a "nanny cam" to see how distressed she is while in the crate home alone. She is 5 months now so I am not sure if I will keep any soft bedding in her crate in case she hits a destructive stage.

the camera is a good idea! We love it. It will be good to see exactly how she is like when she is upset. I sadly can’t give much advice. our boy since 8 weeks adapted to the crate instantly ( maybe cause our breeders started the crate training process before we got him) but I hope things improve and go smoother for you ! There may be some more threads on here to browse regarding the topic of crate training more

Oh what funespecially after a twelve hr shift. And I thought the crate scrape might be for the picture luckybeemer had. Oh who knows with these guys. That cage sleeping is the bomb

 

[HakuTheDoberman]

So update.. I’m not sure I’ll go to the vet appointment tomorrow. Cause I think I’ve almost come to the conclusion it’s a burn of some sort. Haku woke up this morning and it’s gone pretty much just flesh tone.. whiteish like a scar. No longer hurts to touch

this does make me sad since it’s quite a large scar. Remembering back a little bit he did try and drink my tea when it was super hot and he may or may not have booped his nose on the handle of a pan while cooking

the hot tea may also explain the weird splat pattern it has

Does anyone have tips for anything I can put on to help minimize the scar that will be ok if he licks off

 

[Kaiser2016]

I’m always worried about kitchen accidents since they like to check everything out with their nose. Do you have Vetericyn? I’d use that. I have used it on nearly every scratch or scrape on Kaiser it’s so amazing.

That jacket is super cute btw, he looks so dashing!

i don’t but I’ll definitely look into that !

Thank you aha ! We just got it last night. It’s a bit big on him right now but blew got a size up cause he’s still growing

 

[HakuTheDoberman]

Update. It’s the scar has gotten smaller but still there

 

[Kaiser2016]

At least it is growing back looking like normal skin, I would take this as a good sign!

 

[jazzies mum]

I looked back to when your original post was and it is only a couple of weeks ago. I have watched quite large scars on Jazz that I thought would be permanent go through scabbing, hairless white skin, hairless black skin to even growing the hair back to nearly normal over 6 - 8 weeks. A burn could be different but with luck it will get the pigment back at the very least and not be so noticeable.

 

[HakuTheDoberman]

Update again! Lol I noticed it’s turning back black yay!

 

[luckybeemer]

Awesome. Yay. So happy for you. That gives me hope for Remi's crate scrape. And I got the puppy cam installed last week. Absolutely loving it. Things have been good and bad. She has been good at times and thrown hissy fits at others. I feel helpless and horrible like today I was at work and she had a good major melt down. Just hanging on for dear life on this wild dobie roller coaster ride of puppy days. Lol

 

[HakuTheDoberman]

Update again: it’s gone!

Yahoo! Great news. It always amazes me how well they heal up with a bit of time.

 

[MyBuddy]

He looks great!! Thanks for the update! Take a sigh of relief!

 

[HakuTheDoberman]

Thanks guys! It’s definitely a sigh of Relief

unrelated but couldn't find a better thread:

@Tropicalbri's can Vetericyn be used on a site with stitches? Moo seems to be getting itchy but they look great, otherwise!
