Hi

Our Griffon Korthal that we rescued from France 3 years ago has just been diagnosed with Leishmaniasis. He is healthy in himself but has scaly skin and itches a lot and has started to have bald patches from where he has scrached. Our vet took biopsies and scrapes and sent them away for testing for Leishmaniasis as he has seen a case previously and recognised the symptoms. Our dog now has to undergo an intense treatment of injections. If your dog has bumps under his skin or flaky skin then your vet could maybe send skin scrapes and biopsies as a way of testing for this (this is very costly!)

What are the types of wounds?

There are 5 basic types of wound; Incision The skin is cut by a sharp object, usually a knife or razor. This type of wound may be deep, but will usually heal quickly. Laceration This type of wound is caused by a jagged edge, the skin has been torn, rather than cut. A lacerated wound will take longer than an incised to heal and leave a scar. Abrasion Abrasions are caused by contact with a rough surface, the skin has been ground away. The wound is shallow, but the area damaged can be extensive. These wounds have the highest risk of contamination by foreign material and objects. Thus requiring extensive cleaning before dressing. Contusion Also commonly referred to as bruising, although the outer layer of skin may appear undamaged, there may have been extensive damage to underlying structures. Blood accumulates under the skin causing localised swelling. Puncture Caused by sharp pointed objects. These wounds appear very small, however they are deep. Frequently structures that lie deep beneath the surface have been damaged.
