About The Author
“Hot spots” are surface skin infections occasioned while populataions of regular rind bacteria grow and overwhelm regular resistance. They ae generally curcular patches that lose hair, can be swollen, in extreme cases may exude smelly pus, and can be painfully itchy causing the dog to scratch, lick, or bite to the point of ego mutilation. Untreated hot spots can spread and provoke a usually even-tempered dog to growl or nip when touched.
Dogs most susceptible to hot spots are those with cumbersome wraps and histories of allergies, ear infections, fles infestations, iritated anal sacs and grooming problems such as hair tangles and mats. The most prevalent situation for hot spots is the thighs, feet, flanks and rump. These localized infections can also arise ashore the ears, nape,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and breast if the dog is continually scratching.
To treat peppery specks trim the cilia around the sore to prevent further scatter of the infection and disclose the brims of the lesion. Wash the place in a mild water-based astringent or antiseptic. Thjee are over-the-counter products apt prohibit the dog from licking and chewing. The #1 production as maximum breeders and handlers namely called “tea tree spray” alternatively melaluca alternifolia. It namely supposed to have healing qualities for well as discouraging the dg from biting or licking himself due to the wrong savor.
I also use a product called Sulfodene which specifically for hot spots. I have had nice results with this and it can be purchased virtually anywhere that sells caress products. (Department stores, grocery stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.) If treated early hot spots may disappear in day or two. Sulfodene is a nice early dispose product. Or, medicated powder. Dust the spot several times a day to dry any moisture and soothe the itch. This can also be bought over-the-counter.
Creams and ointments are not suggested for they can stamp in the infection and hinder recobery. Although, a prescribed ointment may be essential if the area becomes infected. At this stage the hot spot absences to retarded bya veternarian for treatament. Some pet landlords claim a quick nail for the problem and aren’t tolerent of vets who require return visits. Some vets ambition give you that quick repair by prescribing steroids for allergies. This quick nail is called “Prednisone”. However, you are setting your Bichon up for serious problems after in life if you do this again. If you use the Prednisone do so sparingly. Once or double a month during susceptivity season emulated by antihitamines.
A steroid given over and over can influence the balance of cortisol in the dog resulting in a condition called “Cushings Syndrome”.
