Getting better or not?

Thunder’s elbow seems not getting better. My husband said it looks better than before but when I look at it, it seems like its getting worst. I am not sure but we still keep putting pads and Neosporin so that it won’t get infected. Poor Thunder, he might having hard time laying down especially when he lays down in a dirt. We are trying not to leave them too long in their kennel. I usually put them in the patio and change the pads twice a day. I know many dogs have elbow problem, hopefully we can find solution on how to make the elbow pads better. We are trying to find better materials and fabric to it but we couldn’t find it yet ,we are just using a temporary elbow pads by using thighs and sanitary pads.
