What does a Teddy (Poodle) fracture look like?
A Teddy fracture may show lameness, inability to stand, or unwillingness to walk; the dog licks the site often and dislikes being touched. Severe cases bring swelling, heat, limb deformity, and a faint bone-grinding sound when moved. Open fractures (bone through skin) bleed and need immediate care to avoid blood loss or infection.
What caused these black granular hard lumps on a Teddy’s head, and how to treat them?
