Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.
Ok flood, I need a little bit of help. I have a dog who has been having some problems the past few weeks. She had started biting her back to the point of pulling hair out and bleeding. We saw the spot which was the size of a quarter the first day, so we got some spray for it. The second day she had chewed further while we were all asleep and it grew quite larger, being that it was sunday though we couldn't go pick up the cone we got for her until the next day. By the third day it had grown yet again, but we were able to cone her at that point. 2 weeks went by and it had healed up nicely, so we gave her a nice bath with some oatmeal shampoo (which is supposed to be good for itching), and I noticed some bumps here and there. Well since then she was fine the first 2 days, but she started at a spot a little higher on her back, so we reconed her. Now she has started on a spot on her back haunches, but she can still reach it even when conned. Now the poor girl has bitten it open and is in a bit of pain. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what we could do to further treat her?
She is a bernese mountain dog, we live in PA. The winter has been quite calm and even warm at some points, so being a cold weather dog it might explain why she might get hot spots.
Last thing I can think to add is one spray is an antiseptic and the other is a spray which is supposed to reduce itching.
