Hotspot?

Buzby · Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 4:47 pm Post subject: Hotspot?

Buzby is almost 5 months old. he was fine at lunch but at 5 pm he has a large sore area under his chin and on his neck. the hair appears to have gone. I have looked on line and I think it is a hotspot. I've clean it up in a slightly warm cloth and antispectic. I am going to phone the vets at 7.am to take him in, He is sleeping. The vets hospital I phoned said they would leave it until morning. Is there anything else i should do. I feel so sad for him.

droppped him at the vets at 7.10 this morning, as no appointments, vet look at him and said humidity and saliva has called an irritation, shaved area , on a course of antibiotics and applying animax 2x daily.

He is so happy to be home and they said he was such a good boy, no fussing.
