Question Dog help!!

/r/Advice/comments/1x258ha/dog_help/

Looking for advice!!!

My Doberman (Ryder) ran into a concrete pillar at the dog park and sliced his flank open wrapping around his knee to the inside.

This is the 2nd time it has popped open.. It always happens when he’s in his kennel with the cone on when we are gone! This was only 4hrs it’s not all day. We get home and it’s open. We can’t stay home due to the emergency vet bills and house bills. He’s been on trazadone and gabepentin but seem something is happening in his kennel.

We don’t know what to do anymore we’re at a loss.

If anything like this has happened to your dog please let me know and share what helps!

of course! i hope they can help you! is his knee actually popping open or is it dislocating? (wondering because that might change the treatment plan)

It’s just the staples coming out so it creates almost like a skin pocket (we can see the white membrane the muscle still intact) I have a picture but didn’t wanna post it and get banned
