Gizmo AKA Gizzy Love

My Dog has a scar on rear leg,what could it be from?

It is around his right rear leg, where the ankle is located. It is distinctive and wraps around but, only the thickness of a piece of thin yarn....I forgot to ask the vet when he went for heart worm test and rabies shot, so, do you have any ideas? Have you seen a scar like this before and what was the cause? He doesn't like me to touch it, it is healed fur is distorted where it is at. He doesn't limp or seem bothered about it at all...I'm just curious.

Sometimes a child will put a rubber band on a dog's leg or tail and forget about it. This could have happened somewhere in Gizmo's past.

Well, i have never seen a scar as you described, sounds sorta serious, but then again, he doesnt limp, but there are probably a lot of things that could of done this, i have just never heard of anything like that.
The thing that gets me is that it wraps around his leg.
That really puts me in a spot, i have no clue as to where he could have gotten it
But yes..... if i were you, i would take him onto the Vet, it might not be just a scar, could be something that could lead to death..... well i suppose a lot of things could do that! But maybe it is some sort of disease dogs can get, there are a lot of diseases out there, and i just think that it would be the best idea to take Gizmo to the vet, that would be the smartest thing to do!!
It probably isnt a big thing, it might just be a scar, but to make sure,i would bring him to the Vet!!!!They would know!!!
As to where i have no idea!!!!!!!
Good luck and hope all goes well with Gizmo!!! P.S. I dont think it is anything to worry about..

It could be an old injury or he had previous surgery before. An x ray could uncover the surgery part if you really wanted to know.
But, sounds like he is fine.
He is cute.
