Yesterday my dog had this black scab thing with no blood. Today it has gotten bigger and now it’s bleeding. What is this? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 10 months old | 90 lbs

Hi ! It is difficult to tell 100% from the pictures as you only can only gather some information. It does look like the black scab is necrotic (dead ) tissue, possibly due to lying on a hard surface for prolonged periods of time. The necrotic tissue has partially come off exposing some live and bleeding tissue. This is my impression ! I would recommend to have Riabow checked over so that she can receive some treatment, this wound will cause lots of discomfort !
