Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jules. I recommend bathing him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to help soothe his skin. If this does not improve the red areas, then he will need to see his veterinarian. In the meantime, do not allow him to lick the area. He should wear an E-collar if he is trying to do so. I hope this information helps!
