Hot Spots & Irritated Skin:
Pet owners should be vigilant about various environmental, dietary, and situational factors that may irritate your pet’s skin, including: allergies, flea and tick infestations, matted or dirty coats, sunburn, dampness, or anal sac issues. These conditions can lead your pet to chew, lick, or scratch those areas, often resulting in pain and complications. Boredom can also trigger such behaviors. Hot spots and inflammation can develop quickly after your pet starts scratching or biting at these areas, leading to painful, red, moist lesions known as hot spots or acute moist dermatitis. Immediate treatment is essential.
Tips For Preventing Hot Spots:
- Regularly groom your dog and ensure their hair is kept short.
- Utilize flea and tick prevention products recommended by your veterinarian.
- Keep your pet active and healthy with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise to fend off boredom.
- Thoroughly dry your pet after baths, and make sure they are clean and dry after swimming in lakes or oceans.
Identifying the root cause of any issues is crucial; therefore, consult your veterinarian if hot spots persist. In between vet visits, Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief line features Hydrocortisone to manage itching and inflammation, along with Lidocaine, an over-the-counter analgesic to alleviate pain.
