The lab i rescued has had a couple this summer . . . they are disgusting!

 

I put him straight on piriton tablets, shave the fur off and scrubbed it twice a day with a diluted hibi scrub solution . . .. . . and also got some cream from my vet which is fantastic, its a steroid cream, but works.

 

I was told soaking it in cold black tea also works, i didn't try this but heard excellent stuff about it.

 

They spread rapidly and are immensley painful for dogs. As has been suggested above a raw diet may also prevent them.

Change the dogs food to redmills racer. Alot of glenns get hotspots and one of the things thats proven to work in them is what I just said. What ever is in the food or what ever isnt in the food. It works.Ive done it.
