Hot Spots

[MonicanHonda]

Are you feeding a grainy food? Sometimes the yeast from food can cause these. Maggy may do better on a grain free. Doesn't give the bacteria yeast and sugar to feed off of.

I believe I have heard of chamomile tea being used for this also.

Ask your vet if they carry NeoPredef powder. It's what we use here at the clinic I work at and I've never seen it not work. You'll want to shave the area completely. I would bathe her in a soothing shampoo and let her soak in it for about 20 minutes. If there's any scabbing, gently clean it off, after soaking. After she is completely dry, apply the powder. We usually have them apply it twice a day. Also, you may want to keep an e-collar on her so that she cant get to it and irritate it more. The key is to keep it dry!

Edit:
If your vet doesn't carry it, you can get it from Dr. Fosters:

Don't feel bad about it - hot spots are very common and can get out of hand before you know about it!

Thank You for that Tip ill call in tomorrow and see what they can do.
I have actually just put her in the tub and rinsed her with warm water,That seemed to sooth her.(Is there any home remedies,or Shampoo) That is meant for hot spots,or allergies?

I have Buzzed that hair around the spot,today i noticed another spot starting,So i will be going to pick up a cone tomorrow.

Her wounds are dry,Terrible looking but Dry.I think the dead skin is making it look worse than what it is.

I am actually doing research on the Grain Free Food,She is on Kirkland Senior right now,Kirkland also makes a grain free dog food that is apparently for all ages.
Maggy will be 9 in May,and has a bit of a weight issue.She has done real well on The senior Kirkland Brand.
I'll check more into the Grain Free Brand they carry and see what the reviews are.
