Your Pet should be checked every day for pressure sores as they can be hidden underneath the hair; be particularly watchful with long-haired pets as the sores can be hidden in the coat. Check your pet's hips and elbows for sores if it has a tendency to lie on one side. If you pet does incur pressure sores, visit your veterinarian immediately. Your veterinarian will advise you on proper care of pressure sores.
