I have neo-predef that I got from the vet for Henry's irritated eyes. Can I use this for hot spots? The bottle says neo-predef with tetracaine powder. Neomycine sulfate, isoflupredone, acetate, tetracaine HCI

We just got back from vacation and Henry has a pretty significant patch on one side of his neck and a little smaller one on the other. I'm tired and can't think straight and would so much appreciate some advice. Thanks a bunch

it is a powder, right? shave the area and clean it with peroxide... let it dry out, I think the powder is OK to use, I have never used it for a hotspot, but it should be OK to use
[MENTION=2]bullmama[/MENTION]... agree?

Yes, it's a powder. I have looked him over real good. He has bumps down both front legs, small spots in both ears, and the neck is a little worse than I first thought. I think I'm just going to take him to the vet. I'm not sure what they will do but I'm quite sure that it's worse than I feel comfortable treating by myself. He's only had one spot that I treated and it was the size of a quarter. Hubby says I should recognize my limitations. Ha ha. Am I being smart or over cautious?

[MENTION=10908]Roseann[/MENTION] Sounds to me like you have the right idea. Take him to the vet. I think it's better to catch whatever it is early, since it is more than one place already. YOU are being smart!! :yes: Tell that Hubby to quit pickin' on you!

Definitly is some type of allergic reaction... they will probably give him some steriods to settle it down

[MENTION=8741]Manydogs[/MENTION] I will tell him! Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes I need another voice in my head so I don't fret!
