| I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member  |  Hot Spots on Pippi and Peaches....What to use??? This question is regarding my other two babies, Pippi and Peaches - I hope it's ok to post this here as they are not Yorkies  Peaches has 2 Hot Spots on her, one on her back left leg, and one on her front right leg. Also, Pippi has just started getting two of them on the side of her tummy. I would LIKE to get these under control before they just get worse and was wondering if anyone knows of anything that helps get rid of these darn things? I know they are a common thing that dogs get, but I do want to rid my Pippi and Peaches of them before they just get bigger and more itchy. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Pippi and Peaches are my other babies  Pippi is a Mini Dachshund and Peaches is a mix breed rescue dog. We think she is Pit Bull and ??? something else mixed. Here is a link to their Dogsters so that you can see their pictures  Pippi: Dog profile for Pippi, a female Dachshund Peaches: Dog profile for Peaches, a female American Pit Bull Terrier/Breed Unknown

Peaches hobbies made me laugh with the meter reader and mail mail! I bet she is really glad she found your garage, she looks as spoilt at Steddy and Tat! When I read Mini Doxie in Pippi's profile I remembered you'd told me about her before... I seem to recall me making a post asking what one was and thinking it was a kitchen appliance or something! LOL I love the video of her in the swing! | |

| My son's dog got a couple hot spots and someone told him their dog had that and they cleared it right up with Aquaphor Healing Ointment, so he tried it and it works miracles. I know Wal-Mart has it in a tube or jar. |

| Marcel + Wylie = LOVE Donating Member Moderator  | Poor babies!!! Those darn things can be so tough to treat. I found this link and it was kind of good: Hot Spots: Acute Moist Dermatitis in Dogs I would think tea tree oil would sting bc it's so astringent, but I could be wrong . I hope they get better soon! I wish I knew more about this, but I just don't. Aloe can be quite soothing and healing. And Peace and Kindness from Chris Christensen apparently works miracles on *all* skin issues, so I wonder if that would help the babies? Hugs to them .

I am going to check out the link you sent me just as soon as I get finished typing out this reply I have put the Tea Tree Oil on them three times so far, and it doesn't seem to bother them that much (thank goodness!). Peaches may have squirmed a TINY bit the first time, but once I kept going with it, it actually seemed to soothe her I am going to try this for maybe about a week or so, and if it doesn't seem to be clearing up any, then I will try the Aquaphor Healing Ointment that Yorkiedaze mentioned and also the Peace and Kindness that you just mentioned - I have never even heard of that before but it sounds GREAT!Thank you so much for your help girl...you are always there for me, and I appreciate it so much!
