There is ringworm on the rear; the dog bites it daily, bleeding and scabbing
From the photo, it may not be only dog ringworm; fungal infection likely mixed with bacteria and serious skin damage. Use an Elizabethan collar to stop biting. Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, then use terbinafine spray and antibacterial skin ointment. Change dressing 3-5 days; if no improvement, get a skin scraping.
My cat’s back leg was limp a week ago, now walks normally but has a hairless lump it won’t let me touch
Treatment depends on the injury type. For a skin scrape, clean with iodine or alcohol and apply erythromycin ointment, with an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking. A deep wound needs a vet for bandaging and shots. Non-healing wounds need X-rays of bone and joint, then surgery or rest with limited activity.
