Pet Skin Doctor

“You don’t always find a definite underlying cause for hot spots, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a cure,” a pet owner tells me in a recent conversation.  “Don’t give up, not even after you think you’ve tried everything.”  For the past three years, Michelle has been trying to find a cause and cure for her poor bulldog, Marty.

The dog hots spots began nearly undetected and grew to three very large patches, one on each side and one on the lower back/top of his buttocks.  Poor Marty’s hot spots spread a lot more quickly than they vanished. Even after a year of intense skin therapy and a diet supplementation rich in Essential Fatty Acids, there is still a little discoloration, but the hair has begun to return.  To this day, a definite cause of the hot spots has not been discovered.
