Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sierra. She appears to have developed calluses on her elbows. This is common from sleeping on rough surfaces. Provide her with soft places to sleep. If the elbows are cracked or bleeding, then she will need to see her veterinarian for a medication. I hope this information helps!
