baileyb Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi all Just doing a bit more research into hot spots today and I read a couple of people have suggested the powder spray. Has anyone else used this on hot spots and if so, what were the results? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi all Just doing a bit more research into hot spots today and I read a couple of people have suggested the powder spray. Has anyone else used this on hot spots and if so, what were the results? Thanks After not having any hot spots on my dogs for quite a few years, My boy got one on his head in between his wrinkles. We have used Athletes foot powder on hot spots for many many years for the Bulldogs and Bullmastiffs and I always have it in my doggy medical box. So out it came and was applied. granted it wasnt bad but with two days of applying the powder it had virtually disappeared. It is zinc powder, one of the best ever treatments for wet exzema is zinc. Incidentally after we had the big wet the other week (and even though I had been drying the dogs feet after every time they went outside) and I was doing my weekly check of my dogs feet my boy had very red, yeasty wetness between his toes and under his pads. Straight away the powder was brought out and applied for a couple of days. He wasnt sore, or lame or anything but it didnt matter, they had to be dried up and the zinc powder worked a treat. Wet exzema loves moist humid conditions. It thrives in it. 110% recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Antibiotics or corticosteroid cream would be prescribed by a vet. A natural antibiotic that would not irritate the condition further like most antibacterial or fungals would to regularly apply colloidal silver 2-3 times a day. It makes a really good salve when mixed with aloe vera use min 99% aloe and don't let the dog lick it as aloe is toxic for dogs to ingest.

ruby_doo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 A breeder friend suggested "Listerene" I was horrified but at my wits and and blow me down it works !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yes Listerene works, it dries out the area and kills the bacteria, Athletes Foot powder works the same way, as does Curash Powder...Hot spots need to be kept dry and if used quickly these remedies are very effective. Betedine scrub with a dash of meths was a favourite that worked very quickly too. I have used all of these with great success and no need to shave the area and further irritate it.

bingo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) there are some canine ear powders that are meant to work pretty well at stopping ear infections maybe you could use something along those lines.

ellz Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Preparation-H (or any anti-haemorrhoidal creams) (antiseptic with anaesthetic helps the itchies) Isopropyl Alcohol (drys those suckers right out FAST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisovar I went at lunch to look at Listerine - and there are millions of different types! Which Listerine and Athletes Foot Powder Spray type did you use please?

Crisovar Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Listerine Original formula the amber/yellow coloured one, and either Scholl Tinea Powder spray or Daktarin spray work well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Is it safe for dogs to lick Listerine and Athletes Foot Powder Spray? Does anyone know? TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diandra Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Canesten Tinaderm spray. (Can be purchased at Coles) or at chemist. Cleared up the nasty hotspot on my chihuahua. It also relieves the burning, itching and pain. Edited February 4, 2023 by Diandra Left out information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
