Lou doesn't necessarily get them from allergies, he gets them from nerves. When we have to board him while we travel, we'll pick him up and he'll have hot spots all over him. We finally figured it out, now when he's boarded, he gets special attention from the staff so they can manage his worrisomeness.

I am SOO glad I looked on here... We havent been on in a while, but Frankie Just got her first trip to the vet for this and they had to shave her right were Sara's spot is and also on the top of her head close the ear. I was putting Spray on it, but I thought she was just itchy from the grass. and she had a little scab from playing with my pug.

I felt HORRIBLE when the vet said that yes it was a hot spot and the spray I was using wasn't helping because her fur was collecting most of it.
They put her on antibiotics and gave her prednisone.
She pants all the time, but she has recently started panting really bad. this was very scary for me so I took her off the prednisone because I think she was having a reaction to it. The vet checked her heart before she perscribed it, but I just feel that she was panting A LOT after the 2nd day.
I am really thankful I seen your post .. Thank you. I took pictures after the vet shaved her and toady its looking great! They put some ointment on it there that made it instantly dry up so I am going to see if they can perscribe me that to have on hand. I have order some Zymox cream, but haven't received it yet.

Also, may I ask where you got her shirt?(in the pic) It is adorable! The vet also told me to put a tshirt on her to keep her from scratching it.

Zeus had 2 hotspots about 2 weeks ago and I freaked out and went to the vet right away. They shaved the area and gave me a spray with alcohol in it to help dry it up and also antibiotics to prevent infection. It was baffling to me because I clean his face and neck daily. I was using some kind of wipes suppose gentle for dogs and I wonder if that ha something to do with it. I have switched to ultra sensitive baby wipes and his spots are almost complete gone.

The visual can't be topped. It is so scary to think that it can progress so fast. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the progression.

its usually food related from what i know about it. but i think sometimes its environmental. its bacterial in nature
