What can you put on hot spots beside the medicine for it My dog seem to be allergy to the medicine that I used If the dog is allergic to the medicine, take it to the vet and ask for their opinion. Or even call the vet. They can tell you what to do to make it better. Well...I don't fully understand the question, but it seems like your dog is allergic to the medicine you use, ask your doctor about changing medicine and ask the vet about your dog.. Let's start with... was this over the counter med or vet recommmended medication? Because first you need to know more about the hotspot So my recomendatoin is take him to the Vet, ask the vet about the med you are putting on the hot spot and let him the dogs allergic reaction.... and let the vet get at the root of the hotspot as well as recommend something that will work better You need to know if these are really hot spots. My Corgi had them...so thought my vet. Then, when nothing helped, he said allergies. Nothing helped. Finally, a breeder told me about a product and I started using Iver-On, Ivermectin liguid for cattle. It stops allergies, keeps off mesquitoes and fleas and cures Sarcoptic Mange (which most people think is allergies or hot spots and most vets do too unless they opt for an expensive "skin scraping" test. My dog started healing in no time and has never had another problem. That was a year ago and I still use it to keep of mesquitoes and fleas, so no heartworm prevention needed. It's $20 a bottle at Tractor Supply and you use 1 1/2 cc for 14 pounds of dog. I asked my vet why he didn't suggest trying it. I'm not gonna tell you what he said. hahahaha! A bottle lasts me close to a year with a small dog. Many breeders now use this. I think you can Google it and find out about it. My dog is no longer in misery and has a beautiful hair coat, which tends to make me VERY happy! I just took my dog to the vet today. He's had alot of problems with itching and flaking...just seeming miserable. I don't know what the vet called it but "hot spots" as it turns out can be variety of things. My vet recommended giving my boy a bath twice a week for 4 weeks with Selsum Blue medicated shampoo...working the suds in for at least 10 min. As well as giving him Benadryl twice a day (you'd have to see your vet and talk with him about this one to see if it's right for your dog and how much to give). My dog is rather large. Try the shampoo and I wish you the best. I know how frustrating it can be for the both of you. clean the area thouroughly with a mixture of 1/2 peroxide 1/2 warm water... use cotton balls to do this as the area will be extremely sore... pat the area dry, again with cotton balls- then either use Ammens Powder( this is a baby product) on the area- or plain old milk of magnesia.... let dry... this is all i have ever used on my dogs-- works well and is soothing to there sore skin.
