Just noticed a large hot spot on Jake's rear thigh. He hasn't had one in years. Just wondering if the diabetes will make it harder to clear up. If I remember right, I had to take him to the vet for his last one because it seemed to spread like a wild fire.

Re: Hot Spot
Have you tried a (cooled down) used tea bag? Franklin hasn't had one since being diabetic, but a tea bag 3-4 times a day for a few days used to do the trick.Jane and Franklin, 8 years, maltese, currently 6.4kg, Australia.

Re: Hot Spot
Sounds awful because it's powder to a wound but I had people swear by Gold Bond medicated Body powder. I tried it on Ali years ago and just poofed a bit on the hot spot. The zinc in it seems to clear it up.Patty and Ali 13.5yrs 47lbs diagnosed May '08 Ali earned her wings October 27, 2012, 4 months after diagnosis of a meningioma ~ Time is precious ~Comment
