So last night i adopted a giant beast of a English bulldog named chunks. I noticed today he has a heat spot and i wanted to know do i put a shirt on him or not? Sorry spot is on his stomach. So do i cover it so it won't get dirty or scrapped as he lays or do i let it air out?

Pls help.

Thanks so much for adopting him, he is a handsome boy. Wash the hot spot with antibacterial soap and do not cover, you want it to dry out.

Congrats on the adoption!!!! Like david said antibacterial soap, keep it dry. maybe even some Neosporin cream during the day. He's a handsome boy!!

Thank you. I have never seen a bulldog so big. He has to 75lbs. and tall for a bulldog. Now that I know about the cream I am running out to get it right now. Thank you so much for the advice I love how everyone is so helpful and never puts down or judges. love

Thank you Tracey. Well it was gradual as she is still so small only about 13lbs. and he is a huge giant. He is so tall and 75lbs. I think. They could no longer take care of him and I didn't want him going to a shelter or being resold on Craigslist. They do not care about this breed on cl. sad. But so far so good I hope. any advice with boys would help. ya I think this guy has to be on steroids. lol I'm gonna try and take a picture of him by something so you guys can see what I'm up against. lol

Congratulations Yvette on your new baby. He's a gorgeous Chunk. You're so great for adopting him. I don't have any experience with hot spots, but you have been given great advice already. You can also try rinsing him with warm water and vinegar after he's shampooed.

Thank you Monica. I'm going to try a few things and see what works for him. It's not raw or anything just want to make sure he doesn't rub it to much and because he so big his weight while scrapping the floor will not help either.

Vinegar is a natural anti bacterial, anti fungal, and anti inflammatory, and it also balances the natural Ph levels of the skin, so it will kill the bad bacteria on his skin, plus it leaves the skin and fur so soft. I rinse my guys with vinegar and warm water, after I bath them, and it keeps them smelling nicer longer between their baths.

Ah what a sweet baby!!! You are a doll for giving him a loving home and not letting him get into hands that would not know the breed. Male bulldogs can be BIG. Do you know what they were feeding him or of he has any allergies???
