Irish 78 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I remember my lurcher getting hot spots which included loosing hair around her body. The ears were one , i was told to change the dry food to some meat based food for a while and add some fish oil. Cleared right up. Some dogs are easily irritated by the ingredients in dry food, the skin is the first to suffer. 1 Quote Link to post
