Hello,

I have a 1 year old French Mastiff female, she like to flop down on the floors or outside a lot. She has gotten a Hygroma on her right from leg now and it’s not hurting her but I will like to know what is the best way to get it gone?

    DON’T have the vet drain it. It should reduce on its own. You can try making a leg covering for her, or encourage her to lay on soft surfaces like beds, mats, etc. If you crate her, have something soft in the crate.

    (We went through this with our Doberman. It did reduce on its own, though it took awhile and we had to back out of two shows while it resolved.)

      Ok thank you, I brought her some legs straps but they are not working because today I noticed her other leg is getting a Hygroma on it also. Do you think I can cut a sock and put on her?

    I agree with Laura! It comes from trauma and it will only recur if you don’t resolve the stress on the joint. I use Doggleggs coverings and an orthopedic bed.

      This is what I got her and it’s not working, do you suggest anything else I could use?
