🌞 Happy Monday, friends! 🐶🐾
Let’s kick off the week by talking about something not-so-fun but super important: HOT SPOTS! 🔥😖
Hot spots (aka acute moist dermatitis) are red, inflamed, and often painful patches of skin that can pop up seemingly overnight—especially during hot, humid weather. 😓
👀 Watch for signs like:
✔️ Constant licking, chewing, or scratching
✔️ Red, moist, or oozing skin
✔️ Hair loss in one irritated area
✔️ A not-so-pleasant smell 🫢
💡 Common causes?
• Allergies
• Fleas
• Moisture trapped in the coat (hello, summer swims!)
• Boredom or stress
🐾 The good news? With proper treatment, your pet will be back to tail wags and belly rubs in no time.
