I would be concerned that Daisy may have a rash from allergies or from a skin infection, but if it was a heat rash, it should clear up in a few days. You cannot use a hydrocortisone cream on a dog for more than three days, and if this rash has not cleared up in 24-48 hours, then I would have Daisy seen by a vet.
