wolfgirl Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Pearl was outside playing tonight and came in the house and about 20 mins later she got on the couch and hung her head down and I noticed all this blood coming from under her cheek cleaned it all up and can't find any puncture wounds or any bite marks but it is very red and a little sore. I have bathed it and put some cream on it, only thing I can think of is she has been bitten by something, she's quite normal and sleeping after a big day out.

Flaves Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Has Pearly scraped it on something? Is it under her cheek near her jowls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfgirl Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 I just don't really know what she has done, she never yelped or I would have heard her, will see what it looks like in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shantiah Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Looks like a "hot spot" to me. Aparently "cure rash" cream or powder or plain listerine will do the trick although I havent had to try them myself. Very common problem is alot of breeds. I am a groomer and see it in Golden Retreivers all the time. You can also wash the area in malaseb shampoo from the vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales of Justice Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I agree with Shantiah - it definitely looks like a hot spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yep, I agree - looks like poor Pearl has a hotspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales of Justice Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) The absolute best treatment for hot spot is Friars Balsam from the chemist ($4 odd). You usually only need about 1 application per day over 2 or 3 days and the hot spot is finished.

disorder Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 What is a hot spot and the cause of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brox Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 a hot spot is an area that becomes raw with yellow pus around it normally. Its from excessive scratching /chewing, may be caused from a minor fungal infection or an itchy spot that is continually scratched. Its best to shave the hair there and apply Ilium neocort cream, well thats how we do it at work, seems to work well though others have cheaper options which may have as good an effect. I haven't tried the other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
