Canine hot spots are evil

Canine hot spots come very quickly and take forever to heal. Poor B has experienced many this summer. In fact, thanks to another trip to the vet, she now sports a “naked” rear end similar to a baboon! 

The vet said that with Florida’s hot wet ‘08 summer the mold is running rampant. In B’s case, it was most likely an insect bite that became infected from the licking/itching. Yesterday’s Relief® bath, plus our ongoing Benadryl® routine is a good start but not enough. We now have script for antibiotic and a shaved (cleaned) area ready for Genesis® Topical Spray.

I have to send *dog bones* out to Publix® for providing free antibiotics – even for dogs! Just ask your vet to write the script for you to fill. Bravo!!!!
