My GSD/Chow has a HOT SPOT. Any tips on curing it?
I have a pet health manual that’s really helpful, but I’d appreciate the advice of anyone who has dealt with this before.
And to those of you that might say to bring her to the vet, I can’t. She is my dad’s dog and he can’t afford this. Also, this isn’t that urgent of a situation. A hot spot can usually be cured with home remedies.
Shave or trim the hair away from it. Give her a good bath in a strong tea tree oil shampoo. Let the area dry, then apply a hot spot spray- they’re a few bucks from any pet store.
