Hot Spots & Irritated Skin:
Pet owners should closely monitor environmental, dietary, and situational factors that may irritate your pet’s skin, such as allergies, flea or tick bites, matted or dirty coats, sunburn, or wetness. These issues can lead your pet to chew, lick, bite, and scratch the affected areas, often causing pain and discomfort. In some cases, boredom can also trigger excessive chewing. Hot spots and inflammation can develop quickly after a pet begins to itch, bite, or lick these areas, resulting in painful, red, moist lesions known as hot spots or acute moist dermatitis, which require prompt treatment.
Tips For Preventing Hot Spots:
- Regularly groom your dog and keep their coat short.
- Use flea and tick treatments recommended by your veterinarian.
- Keep your pet active and healthy with a nutritious diet and plenty of exercise to prevent boredom.
- Thoroughly dry your pet after bathing, and clean and dry them after swimming in lakes or oceans.
Identifying the underlying cause of these issues is crucial; if hot spots become a persistent concern, consult your veterinarian. In the meantime, the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief line offers Hydrocortisone to manage itching and inflammation, while Lidocaine, an over-the-counter analgesic, helps reduce pain.
