[HELP]

thx alot angie i think thats what he has the only thing different is he doesnt scratch it

I agree it does sound like a hotspot. They don't always scratch them. If you can, clip the hair away from the area. That will allow the air to get at it and clear it up quicker. I have always used Otomax for hotspots (it's not specifically for them but works awesome) Atleast it's not an area he can lick, that will make it much easier to treat and heal.

took tank to the vet and told me he had hot spots he gave me a spray bottle called gentocin to spray on the spots and i also got some pills cephalexin 500 mg and pred .5mg. i just hope he gets better

Good luck!

Is gentocin the purple spray?

I was put onto that when my goldy had a few after rain. I now use it for any little scratches or nicks the dogs get and find it clears things up quickly.

My goldy looked lovely when the purple turned bright pink on him though. :lol:
