Last night when came home thru a horrible lightening show, our dog was half under the bed and he had pawed and the spots open again. I think it's his nerves! He has an appointment at the vet's on Friday. Anyone else have this problem and what have you done?
Our dog had hot spots - turned out to be Thrush - very uncomfortable. We took her to the vet right away and she was on meds and ointments. Her hair fell out where the hot spots were.. God love her, she died of old age, 14 years, after the whole summer of being miserable. Now, this was ten years ago and perhaps they have come up with ointments and stuff that will take care of whatever your dog has. I sure hope so, because I don't think Bridget was very comfortable at that time. The bugs used to fly on her and land where the spots were. We kept her covered up when she would be outside. That helped an awful lot. Edie
