Question
Hello, I have a one year old standard poodle. Female named Jazz. Her hair was cut super short for the summer. She has a hot spot on her hip, she just keeps liking and it's fairly pink and hair is basically gone there. It doesn't bleed, but looks pretty bad. I'm guessing it was a bug bite? It's been about three days or so.
Thanks!! Anne.
Hi Annie - You can give her some benadryl about 25 mg every 8 hrs.
Don't give more than 2 benadryl pills per day - they will make her sleepy. Takes away the itching.
YOU may want to purchase some of this salve - Very low cost and will last a long time. Good for hot spots and cuts ---- Just great to have on hand - heals and protects:
