O.K. this is old-school information, but my previous vet, who has since retired, said hot spots were caused from the dog ingesting more protein than their bodies used, and it manifested itself through the skin...I don't know if that was correct, but when I cut down on the protein, or increased the exercise, the hot spots would stop appearing..I think he did give me a cortisone type cream to treat with, when the pups got them... |
