    Poor Hugo has been wearing a harness the pet store adviced and now has broken skin in his armpits where it has been rubbing ! Any advice as to how to treat or is it a vet job?! X

    Oh poor little Hugo. Could you regularly bathe it with boiled cooled salted water? It depends on how bad the wound is whether it's a vet job. I would take the harness back to the pet store with Hugo and show them the injury. Was Hugo pulling in the harness? Hope it heals soon. x

    Oh boy poor - how bad does it look?

    You need to look for a harness that has a back piece (if a back fastening harness) so the girth strap is way clear of his forelegs.
