| I took Max to the vet twice last summer for these spots. The vet gave us antibiotics and it cleared it up, but I don't Max on antibiotics several times a year.

| Organic coconut oil checked! So could this be food allergies too? Thank you so much for the quick response ladies! |

Do you have any coconut oil you can rub on the area. I use the same coconut oil as MAXIMO. It is the Nutiva organic coconut oil. I don't know what area you are in, but they sell it at the GNC where I am. https://store.nutiva.com/coconut-oil/ | |

| I'm guessing environmental. One of the docs who looked at Max called it a grass allergy.

| Also, try to keep his underside dry. If you are cleaning down there, make sure to dry well.

| I have coconut oil but is not organic. I can go to GNC and get some. The area where the spot is won't get wet at all. It is on his leg by his knee. |

| Use the coconut oil and keep an eye on it. If it looks raised, more like a bump, make sure it isn't a tiny tick. A tick would make a good size bump though.
