As you can see he is really thin and his back has most of the hot spots, but there is a few on his face and the underside of his neck. :-(
Hi DixieKooper
IMO I would surely change the food and keep him in a cool place, out of the heat. If you aren't feeding grain free food , you may want to consider buying a grain free food. Even try a raw diet if you like. I'd say he could use about 3 cups of good food a day, even add some home cooked on top of his food. If possible, feed him twice a day.
Fresh water multiple times a day.
Benadryl twice daily, he looks like he weighs enough to have two tablets at a time. 50 lbs = 50mg.
Also a bath with antibacterial shampoo . I just found one I'm testing from Amazon, Douxo shampoo. We don't have the need for it right now, but I want to test it anyway. also, after you rinse him really good, take one gallon of water to one cup of white vinegar and pour it over him. leave it on , don't rinse it off, then dry with towel. this will balance his ph level. his allergy could also come from grass. never the less, it's an allergy and his resistance is down.
also I've found by giving one vitamin c tablet and one zinc tablet a day helps to bring up the resistance and helps the skin allergies to clear up without the need for antibiotics. please keep us posted
