Hot Spots on Pippi and Peaches....What to use??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

stedmansmommy · 06-26-2008, 01:43 PM

This question is regarding my other two babies, Pippi and Peaches - I hope it's ok to post this here as they are not Yorkies

Peaches has 2 Hot Spots on her, one on her back left leg, and one on her front right leg. Also, Pippi has just started getting two of them on the side of her tummy. I would LIKE to get these under control before they just get worse and was wondering if anyone knows of anything that helps get rid of these darn things? I know they are a common thing that dogs get, but I do want to rid my Pippi and Peaches of them before they just get bigger and more itchy.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

I don't know Brooke, but I just wanted to find out who Pippi and Peaches were and if you had pics of the posted somewhere...

I hope their hot spots go away soon and it's nothing serious...

Use Tea Tree Oil...it worked when the cortizone/steroid the meds only helped a bit..happened to mine three times. Becca got a small red spot and one application cured it...I keep it on hand all the time now.

Haha! Hey girl

Pippi and Peaches are my other babies

Pippi is a Mini Dachshund and Peaches is a mix breed rescue dog. We think she is Pit Bull and ??? something else mixed.

Here is a link to their Dogsters so that you can see their pictures

Oh WOW!

Thank you so much for this great info sweetie! I am going to pick some up FOR SURE. You are right, it is great to have on hand...especially if it works that well! I hope I get the same wonderful results that you did

Thanks again!

Awwwww, what sweeties!

Peaches hobbies made me laugh with the meter reader and mail mail!

I bet she is really glad she found your garage, she looks as spoilt at Steddy and Tat!

When I read Mini Doxie in Pippi's profile I remembered you'd told me about her before... I seem to recall me making a post asking what one was and thinking it was a kitchen appliance or something! LOL I love the video of her in the swing!

My son's dog got a couple hot spots and someone told him their dog had that and they cleared it right up with Aquaphor Healing Ointment, so he tried it and it works miracles. I know Wal-Mart has it in a tube or jar.

Awww, thank you so much girl!

Yes, Peaches can be a bad girl sometimes

She WILL try and eat the meter reader, and WOULD! If only he would come in our backyard again...LOL! The last time she took after him he ran as fast as his legs could carry him and HAULED BUTT out of our yard, LOL!!!

Poor guy, he was scared TO DEATH!

OMG....lol! YOU were the one that posted about the Mini Dachshund being a kitchen appliance, lmao!!

That sooo cracked me up and I DO remember it, I just couldn't remember who posted it....but it was YOU!

Sooo funny girl, hahaha!! Anyway, yep, that's Pip!!! LOL. And thanks for the compliments on her little swing video

She just loves that darn thing!!

Thank you so much for this great information sweetie! I just went yesterday and bought some of the Tea Tree Oil and am giving that a try...so I will see how that works since I already have some on hand, but if I don't have any luck with it (although I AM keeping my fingers crossed as I just want to get these darn things cleared up

) then I will absolutely be trying the Aquaphor Healing Ointment.

Thank you again....I greatly appreciate it!

Poor babies!!! Those darn things can be so tough to treat. I found this link and it was kind of good: Hot Spots: Acute Moist Dermatitis in Dogs

I would think tea tree oil would sting bc it's so astringent, but I could be wrong

. I hope they get better soon! I wish I knew more about this, but I just don't. Aloe can be quite soothing and healing. And Peace and Kindness from Chris Christensen apparently works miracles on *all* skin issues, so I wonder if that would help the babies? Hugs to them

.

Thanks so much Ann!

I am going to check out the link you sent me just as soon as I get finished typing out this reply

I have put the Tea Tree Oil on them three times so far, and it doesn't seem to bother them that much (thank goodness!). Peaches may have squirmed a TINY bit the first time, but once I kept going with it, it actually seemed to soothe her

I am going to try this for maybe about a week or so, and if it doesn't seem to be clearing up any, then I will try the Aquaphor Healing Ointment that Yorkiedaze mentioned and also the Peace and Kindness that you just mentioned - I have never even heard of that before but it sounds GREAT!

Thank you so much for your help girl...you are always there for me, and I appreciate it so much!

Well that makes me feel somewhat better...

How are Pippi and Peaches hot spots now?

chachi · 06-28-2008, 10:24 AM

When Chachi had hot spots the vet gave me a medicated shampoo and cortisone spray
