hot spots

[PrinceLouiesMom]

louie developed dry, flaky patches all over his skin, one on his neck...i guess it was the most reachable for him got really red and inflammed like.We found out that Louie is most likely allergic to corn after someone advised us to try taking it outta his diet the dry, flaky patches have disappered almost completely. We took him to the vet and they said he created a hot spot on his neck so they shaved my poor babies hair on one side of his neck. He was perscribed clavamox by mouth, neo-predef powder ( they say its like neosporin in powder form), and hydroxyzine (benadryl). The spot cleared up but he's now got a hot spot on the other side errrrrrr soooo my question is does anyone use any topicals that will help the itching associated with allergies? Or is there sumthin my vet can maybe prescribed me that is better? He has to go back to the vet on Tuesday, if theres sumthin more natural that i can use, id rather use that for ex I read emu oil works well??? is this okay for our babies??? Im interested to kno my options, so any suggestions are welcomed

they may give a depo shot to stop itching skin but they shave the spots to keep them clean and from getting infected you could try to use ad hemoroid oinment i know sounds gross but it gets the blood circulation to the skin or injured areas

I had a similiar problem and my Yorkie was given the same antibotic. Took the antibotic for two weeks and still had problems. Just posted a long message about Coat Handler products. Started using the 15 to 1 shampoo and conditioner once a week and appied skin works to all affected areas 3X a day and I no longer have any problem at all. I think my problem was even worst than yours because my baby had pin head pimples and large sores on his abdomen as well as the crusty flaky skin.
