sore on lower leg

[huskerGSP]

Hi Everyone,

I noticed yesterday that there is a sore on one of the lower legs of my dog. It is hard to tell from the picture, but the sore is raised, but it doesn't seem to be bothering her. She doesn't even act likes she notices it.

Any tips on how I could treat this at home, or whether I need to take her in to see our vet?

Thanks, I appreciate any advice.

Try some all-purpose anti-fungal, anti-bacterial ointment. Maybe just a good cleaning and some Animax ointment or something like it.

Whenever I see something round I think fungus.

I'd soak her leg in epsom salts and warm water twice a day x 10 minutes.Looks like a scrape in the woods to me.
