hygroma is usualy found in large breed dogs. it's when cyst are formed around the elbows, or hips, or hocks b/c of the bone being on hard surface. we have hard-wood floors in our house so we think this is what caused it, although he sleeps on the couch and has a bed in every room. you may want to check for these on your pups!

The dog we lsot in sept 05 was a rotty and he had these to but I never knew what they where called and he never really layed on hard floors he sleep on the bed ours. I think he may have got his from laying on the rug during the day it was a low pile one.
They didn't seem to bother him it only bothered me cause it looked uncomfortable on him.
