Hi Friend,
A cheery good morning to you and your pets this Thursday

Hot Spots
-------------------------------
Now is the time to see more 'Hot Spots' again-
The Veterinary name is:
Acute Moist Dermatitis
I was pleased to try out a new remedy that
worked well on my own dog- and it was in my kitchen.
Here is some of what's in my book
SIGNS
A very itchy, smelly, oozy area on the skin.
There may be more than one spot. They often
form on the face and at the base of the ears.
They are often very painful.
CAUSES
The technical name for a hot spot is acute
moist dermatitis. They are a local area of
bacterial infected hair follicles. They form
most often during the warm summer months. Any
scratch or wound can cause the skin to become
infected and develop into a hot spot. Most
hot spots are secondary to some type of skin
allergy.
SOLUTIONS
REMOVE THE HAIR. This is the most important
thing to do in order to allow hot spots to heal.
Use a pair of blunt nosed scissors to trim as
much hair as possible on and around the spot.
If you have clippers use them for trimming.
These can be very painful and some dogs will
not let you trim much hair.
CLEAN THE AREA. Use a mild, non-perfumed
antiseptic soap (Hibitane) to clean the skin.
Gently dab it on the spot, lather up and rinse
well.
A CUP OF TEA. The key to curing hot spots is
to get them to dry out. A very effective
antiseptic drying solution is tea and aspirin.
Brew up a strong cup of black tea and dissolve
an aspirin tablet in it. Soak a cloth in this
brew and apply it to the area for 5 minutes
four times daily.
And my new Remedy...
Apple Cider Vinegar. It can be applied directly
to the Hot Spot- 4 times daily. I soaked it in
a cloth and wiped the clipped area. It has anti-
bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
As an aside, it is also high in potassium, making
it beneficial for older, sometimes potassium
deficient pets. As well, it can be consumed orally
( after all it is fermented apples)- and it
can give your pets an overall immune boost.
P.S. The MOST common cause of recurring Hot Spots
is ONE thing.
Underlying Allergies.
And the best way to decrease your pets Allergic
response.
Essential Fatty Acids.
In high enough doses to be beneficial.
Here is a supplement with EFA's in high amounts
to decrease your allergic pets signs:
