it usually starts out as a flea bite...or something that will itch and

irritate... and the dog gnaws and scratches...and it gets irritated and

inflamed..and possible infected...

 

with a dog who has a very thick coat (like my pomeranian) the start of it

can hide so they can get quite bad before you know they are there.

 

but the yarrow hydrosol soothes the itch and fixes the inflammation.

Hi,

 

Hot spots are also known as protein bumps. Caused by far too much protein

in a diet. Dogs for example only need about 15%, and thats if they are

working dogs. If you check any bag of dog food, its way higher than that.

They can be caused by fleabites, but even then, the food allergy comes into

play

 

Cats can get them too,

 

They are very itchy, and the dogs will worry them into something much

bigger. A sneaky trick is to bandage a front paw, and the dog will

concentrate on getting the bandage off and leave the hot spots alone.

A hot spot on dogs usaully means the dog is allergic to either his food or

inhalent allergies. My GSD had a hot spot after I started giving him flax seeds.

I stopped the flax seeds and his hot spot went away.
