Skin on the thigh is raw and ulcerated
Skin ulceration on a dog's leg is often the result of a fungal, bacterial, allergic dermatitis, or mite skin infection that was not treated in time, allowing the skin damage to keep worsening. In this case, take the dog to a veterinary clinic to identify the specific pathogen, then use a targeted skin ointment. Because the infection at the affected area is fairly severe, oral or injectable antibiotics are also needed, and the dog should wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent it from licking and chewing the wound.
