minimax Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Looks hotspot'ish. Best off shaving the area, cleaning it well with an anti-bacterial and then curash'ing it regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It's not necessary to shave hot spots and there isn't much hair in the armpit area anyway. I use the technique my vet has been using for years and it works very well. You want to keep it as dry as possible so no creams or anything. Just dab with peroxide and wipe away any muck. Then dab with betadine to disinfect. It will dry up very quickly if you do this a couple of times a day. Once it scabs you have to make sure that scab stays on! One of mine will eat his scabs so has to wear a bucket collar if he has a hot spot :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hankodie Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions everyone, just bought some curash powder + betadine. I checked him over and I can't find any more thankfully. Mim it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much at the moment so he won't have to wear the cone of shame (yet) :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dory the Doted One Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Dory, willow is looking absolutely gorgeous! Thank you. :D It's nice getting other eyes looking at her.

Guest hankodie Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Aw Willow is absolutely gorgeous. I loveeeeee rottis there is one rotti puppy in our obedience class and Hank absolutely goes bananas over her. He generally keeps to himself around the other dogs but he is smitten with this rotti :laugh: Just wanted to show off some new tags I ordered for the dogs a while ago, they are super cute! Hank still has to grow into his though: (blurred out the numbers for obvious reasons) And here is a recent photo of Mr. Hank: He is still being an absolute pain in the arse lately, took him for a stroll this morning and he was feral, pulling me towards every leaf and pile of dog poo like his life depended on it. His mouth looks horrible at the moment and he's got the worst breath known to mankind His hot spot has cleared up nicely though, thanks to everyone for the advice!

Steph M Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Are they Etsy finds? I've looked at the same store! Christmas present methinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hankodie Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yep, bought them from here. I'm an etsy addict! There are awesome dog beds on there too that I could probably make myself if I didn't lack the time/effort/skills so I think they will be my next purchase :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hank always looks so sweet in his piccies. If I didn't have my own little naughty girl, I would never believe he could be so bad. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are adorable!! I am seriously contemplating getting the shark one for Odie but I'm trying to decide if she'll end up destroying it or not. It looks super snuggly!

LisaCC Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Willow and Hank are looking great! Nova's next collar is going to be a rolled leather one now that he is big enough that it will last more than a month and his adult coat is growing nicely. I will have to get a nice tag too! My computer is finally working again so I have some more photos. The last few days I think he looks so much older in the face. I'm buying a new (nice yay) couch in the next two weeks... Not sure how long I'll stick to my "no dogs on the new couch" rule. This is not just a cat owners problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Nova is looking beautiful!! His coat is looking lovely - you can see the colours so much better now. You're going to have fun teaching him to stay off the new couch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) We've had a house full of guests the last few days, including my 3 yr old nephew who is perfect face licking height for Nixon, but I feel like we've completely turned a corner with Nixon. He's been so calm and patient, and hasn't tried to jump on the kids at all. The worst he's done is very gently sniff near my nephew's face, and he keeps trying to go to the kids' bedroom to check on them (and have a cuddle I have no doubt). I really feel like he's a different dog from a few weeks ago! He's been so placid and snuggly, and is even doing what he's told (after having a think about it first of course...) I'm almost a bit worried he's not feeling well... :) Edited October 28, 2013 by aliwake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks :) He's actually extremely dirty in those photos so he's normally a lot brighter than that Sounds like Nixon has found the 'calm' side of his labrador temperament. Enjoy those moments, they amazing, you'll never forget them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks Lisa, I figured we were still a year or two away from experiencing his calm side! Maybe his breeder really did manage to pick out a 'placid one' for us after all... You'll have to give Nova a wash so we can see him in all his glory!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'll give him a bath sometime this week :) He actually stayed completely still yesterday and let me clip all of his claws As you can see from those photos needs his paws pads trimmed so might see if he'll be a good boy again for that too!
