The Neapolitan Mastiff
Body / Elbow Sores
 
Sores on their body and often on the elbows are caused from the bedding or living material, that your dog is laying and can be a painful thing for your dog. As seen in this picture, you can see what concrete can do to a dog who has to sit, lay, sleep and live on concrete. 
 
After the environment 
change, this is a picture of 
< the same dog. 
No surgery was done.>
 
< Sores develope because of the materials the dog lives or lays on. They can be cleared up with a enviroment change.
 
Treatment: 
Try putting the dog grass, or dog mats, some kind of shock resistant material that will give a little bit when the dog lays down. Just the change of bedding / or substance the dog is living on can make a big change in the sores with out surgery.
