Dog suspenders

Pepper is11 1/2 years old. She keeps acquiring growths, sores, etc. We found her bleeding all over herself and the carpet today, worse than usual. So we cleaned everything up, soaked her elbow (a different one this time), and got her all bandaged up. She took her bandage off before I could even go upstairs to get a sock. So I got 2, and then she still got it off. So Steven got some 550 cord and made dog suspenders to keep it up so she couldn't take it off. After that she didn't even try. She was bleeding pretty bad, so we really needed to keep it on. Monday we will call the vet to get her all checked out. I have a feeling there's not much they can do but give us a prescription. She has had this problem before, just on the other elbow. It's just part of her getting old. It goes away for a little while and then comes back. But no running until she stops bleeding. 
She does not like getting her picture taken
Dog suspenders. 
He tied a loop around her opposite leg, and then around her bad leg, with a ballon the dock to hold it on. Then attached that cord to her collar.
