How are Pippi and Peaches hot spots now?

Hahaha!

Awww, thanks for asking about them girl They are a little better now....still there, but not near as red as they were thank goodness Also I think the Tea Tree Oil is soothing for them, at least it seems that way when I put it on them I am going to keep at it, twice a day for a while and see if they completely clear up - I sure hope so!

Thank you so much for the info sweetie I did buy them a new shampoo, and although it is not "medicated", it does have some really great ingredients in it, as well as Tea Tree Oil I picked it up at one of the health food houses here when I went to get the Tea Tree Oil. I wash the Hot Spots each time before putting on the TTO and it really seems to be helping

That's good... I'm glad they are getting better.

What exactly are hot spots...? What causes them?
