Hi, not sure if this is where this post goes, but Little Miss is developing calluses on both elbows. See pic.  It's hard to tell, but the hair is very short on these spots.  How can I stop/prevent this from getting worse?? trying to keep her on soft pad, but it is not always possible.  She keeps wanting to move off whatever I put under her.  Urgh. Someone once told me of something she got at a feed store that worked miracles at growing hair on bald spots...it was actually for horses/horse hooves. She cannot remember what it was. Any one heard of this ointment?

Thanks for any advice!

It comes with the territory with larger, heavier dogs that like to lay on hard surfaces! My lab is getting them on both elbows and one of my Sibes has it on one elbow. Bag Balm was highly recommended to me so I just ordered it at the Pharmacy where I work. In searching there is also a treatment called "Elbow Butter" they make one for pads too. I'll let you know how the Bag Balm works out.

Thanks. Actually, I found the treatment. Called Horseman's Dream. Use just a tiny bit 2x's per day. Dont let the area get sticky, ir it will attract dirt and hair will fall off faster. Hair will grow back (even on a callys) in two weeks.
