Hi our three day old puppy is a tripawd. He has a spare deformed leg. The vet says if he survives, the leg will either dry up and fall off, or he will need an amputation. The spare leg has no skin. But it does have a "coating" if you will to keep it from bleeding. The momma dog just licked that off. It makes me wonder if she is doing the same thing that they do in the burn unit...sloughing the skin off...is this going to continue? We are watching her. We don't know what to expect. We know his chances of survival are, well, challenging at best. If there is anything we can do to help him we plan on doing it. We have applied to organizations to help with the potential ongoing costs associated with treatment. He is a great nurser and a really great dog. I added pics of our puppy to the tripawd facebook page. 

Thank You.
