Gold Bond Powder is also a good mild medicine to dry up the irritated skin and heal it. In all the years I have had my Collies, I have only had one hot spot. That was on my female after she gave birth to her litter. She developed the hot spot on her back leg. I applied the Gold Bond Powder and Gave her many extra Suppliments. The hot spot dried up in about 4 days.



Your girl as she gets older probably needs more Vitamins and Suppliments in her diet each day to elevate her immune system. I recommend a couple of products for you to try. It will most definately make a huge difference. I recommend Nupro Gold or Nupro Silver, or like I use Solid Gold Seameal for Dogs.

The Nupro Gold is explained here.

Nupro Dog Supplement - Regular (Gold Label) or Joint Support for Seniors (Silver Label)

All Natural Dog Supplement was researched and developed by a nutrition doctor. It is a totally holistic product that replaces the vitamins, minerals, and digestive enzymes that a dog does not get from his processed food. In other words, what we are doing is replacing with natural ingredients what a dog would normally have gotten in the wild. It is excellent for all breeds and all ages from puppies to geriatric. Made with liver, kelp, bee pollen, yeast culture, flaxseed, borage oil, lecithin, garlic, lactobacillus acidophilus (promotes healthy digestion) and calcium citrate. The Gold Label is regular Nupro. The Silver Label Nupro contains Joint Support with glucosamine, MSM and Ester-C for senior dogs, and those with arthritis and other joint problems. A powder that makes a yummy liver gravy my dogs love. Our senior Great Dane has increased mobility and less joint stiffness since we've been adding Nupro to her diet. And, as a picky eater, it also encourages her to finish her dinner.

The Solid Gold Seameal is explained here


Solid Gold Seameal contains 60 trace minerals, 12 vitamins, 22 amino acids, digestive enzymes, and flaxseed meal. It is excellent for animals with allergy problems and/or skin and coat problems. When Seameal is added to food, it increases the digestibility of the food. It is made with 19 different species of sea vegetation, an excellent source of nutrients. The addition of seaweed and kelp to an animal's diet can produce many great benefits. SeaMeal can help boost the immune, hormone, and enzyme systems of the body, restore lost hair growth, intensify coat color, and boost the immune system.

It just may be that your girl needs a little more Vitamins and Minerals in her life to keep the hot spots from coming back

I hope this is useful for you. I'll keep your fur baby in my thoughts.
