Question

I think my dog has hot spots and I’m not sure what to do for them can you confirm that diagnosis. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 10 days old | 45 lbs

Unfortunately, a diagnosis would require a hands on physical exam. It may be hot spots or a different skin infection. Your veterinarian will be able to make the determination as well as provide the appropriate treatment after an exam. Use an e-collar (cone) to prevent Sheeba from licking excessively until she sees the doctor.
