What is best to use on heat spots? My boy was neutered last Monday, the vets gave us onsoir painkillers, which I think he may have had a slight reaction too, a heat spot has appeared on the back of his neck towards the top of his head on Thursday, I'm presuming it's the meds he has had as nothing else is different, same food etc, wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I can use on him? Thanks in advance [emoji3]

It could be from the stress of the situation, but they normal occur from allergies. can you post a picture of the hot spot?

It's not the best picture, but he's not feeling very obliging today, it's a little redder than the picture actually shows

Looks like you caught it early... you want to keep the area dry and clean.... shave it, clean and let the air keep it dry. It will dry very hard and get crusty, gross, i know, but that is how they heal. shaving is important because the fur traps dirt and moisture which is what the causes them not to heal
.

there is an article here -- I will find it and post the link back for you

not the article, but lots of great info
