Hi, I just want to say (I'm a newbie btw) that I am loving these forums more everyday. :D
The advice that is given and support for fellow owners/breeders is just over whelming!
As I read this thread I find myself calling over my OH to read it for himself and we both look at each other and go "OMG these people are so clever! "
Our boy suffers from hot spots ocasionally and each time we visit the vet for it, NOW we will try the bicarb/curash rememdy first.
Thank you for all the advice I/we have read!
