| hot spot ? My breeder brought Skylar home unexpectedly after breeding her with her stud. I took her to her groomer for a girls day and my groomer found a red open sore on the top of her head.She called it a hot spot .This has never been there . I called the breeder but did not get answers . I treated it with topical antibiotics and she sees the vet tomorrow. how will antibiotics effect a possible pregnancy ? |

| Talk to your vet about what you applied to the sore. Does your girl wear a topknot or bows? Could the hair have been pulled creating a wound? Definitely meet with your vet to discuss all of the details of handling a pregnancy. Be prepared far in advance. I hope the breeder will be there to help you.

| A hot spot is normally associated with an allergic reaction (flea allergy). You are only treating a symptom if treating the hot spot with an antibiotic ointment. You still need to identify the case and ensure you dog doesn't need an antihistamine or oral antibiotics along with a treatment course for the cause of the hot spot.

| Thank all of you . Took Skylar to vet yesterday. Appears to be a possible bite mark .The breeder does have a number of cats and dogs . It was infected and she is on topical antibiotics . Still looks adorable even with a bald patch ! No top notch this Christmas , doesn't wear a top notch usually but barrettes . No return call from breeder . Uggg ! |
