I had a mini dashund that use to get hot spots, as the vet called them, and he said it was caused from too much protein...He said if she ingested more than she could burn up, it would emerge as hot spots...This was a long time ago, and I'm sure he said it in more technical terms that I just did, but that was the jist of it...I'd try cutting down on protein, and exercising him more, 'till you get him to the vet, but I'd sure see a vet to see if it might be something else, like a flea allergy, or a seasonal allergy to a particular weed or something...Seems like he gave her prednisone, and a topical ointment, but I, honestly, don't remember for sure...But why not cut back on the protein intake 'till you can get him to the vet... |
