  • Is is because of allergies? because if it is it will be there until what ever they are allergic to is gone. My golden has the worst time with hers.
  • Actually, I'm shocked the vet suggested to put knee socks on the dog. Generally when we see hot spots at our hospital, we want the owner's to keep the dog from licking and chewing at the spot, but allow air to dry it out. Best to keep it uncovered, cleaned out, and VERY dry. If the vet hasn't already, shave the hair around the hot spot and clean it out with an antiseptic rinse. Dry it well, and put the dog in an e-collar to prevent further licking. Good luck!
  • My dog used to get hot spots. You need a special shampoo and cream. Find a new vet. One that isn't an idiot and will get you what you need.
