Basset Face

Harry gave his vet quite a chuckle last week. It seems that he had developed a very itchy pyoderma around the corners of his mouth and under his chin.

Why is that funny? Well, this particular form of pyoderma is most commonly found on dogs with loose, flapping lips and jowls and is caused by accumulated caustic drool (ew). That most certainly doesn't describe smooth fox terriers!

The vet said, "He has basset face without basset lips!"
