How to deal with paper thin skin?
I got my lovely girl, Snorkel, from the SPCA about a year ago. She’s around 3.5 years old now. We have had 3 semi serious / serious skin wounds. 1 puncture on her chest from hopping over a stick, 1 serious laceration (50+ stitches on her abdomen after doing the splits), and a face wound from another dog grazing her with their canine. After each event we have analyzed and adjusted our actions, I can’t but a bubble wrap suit on her, and even in the safest grassy fields I still have anxiety that she’s going to split her skin in some way.
My question is, does anyone else have this experience with their silken? And, are their supplements, etc, that you use to help “thicken” their skin? My vet’s advice was avoid wooded areas, which we do, but are there other options? Thank you!
