holy grail 0 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) hey all. ive got an issue i think is well worth discussing. my deerhound has recently come down with an infection they call 'Hot Spot'. its basically a place that gets really ichy and infected, and it really frustrates the dog. its in his ear. ive been to the vets/ got medication for him. but i just was wondering if anyone out there can tell me stuff about it. stuff like: what can cause it (i do believe it was a bee sting in this case) = yeast infection what i can do to prevent it happening again (perhaps clean his ear) is it contageous is it going to be a frequent occurence in the deery should i be freaken out the way i am you are probly gunna say 'why didnt you ask the vet'?. all ill say is the vet never explained it and i never asked. just thought id put it to ya coz one of you is bound to have had a dog or cat get it before. ill try and grab a snap of it if ya think i should although it looks pretty vial. cheers fellow hunting chaps from Holy Grail.

oxo 459 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Its pretty common and nothing to worry about, my dog has had it. Its a form of "wet" eczema i think, plenty of information on the web, have a look. i used NuStock to clear it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
