Guest kydie Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) When Mr Bob came to us a year ago, he had his share of battle scars but one inparticular, a large one, on his front leg was about 2 inches wide, and reached across his whole front leg, his beautiful egg plant color skin shown through, but over the past 2 weeks this area looks as if it has sluffed off and pink has now replaced it with new hair growth, i guessed this was an injury involving a skin scrape orginally, and was long term, never to regrow,so this change has me a little baffled, I know he has had no other injury to this area in the past two weeks, as he is not a snow worshiper, so walks are short, and in and out to yard to do his thing has anyone else ever had this happen?, or a guess on what is making this sudden regrowth? Thanks Edited December 29, 2009 by kydie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sighthounds4me Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Many scars fade over time. A good, fatty food will help many skin issues, including scars. If you feed a skin/coat supplemnt, even just fish oil, that could be helping too. I know I personally have scars that have faded over time. A little over a year ago, I dropped my grooming table, and the legs or leg braces got me in three places, teo on my arms. The scars were nasty for a while, but they look much better now. I highly doubt they will ever fade completely, but They have become far less noticable, with time. Amazing how the body works, actually!

Guest Energy11 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Cari came with MANY scars, which have pretty much all faded with time. A few of the deeper one, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Maybe having a better diet for the past year has helped scars heal and hair regrow. I've seen a german shephard with a bad scar on his face and the vet said it would never grow hair again grow hair with vitamin e oil applied daily.
