Hey everyone, Duke here! 🐶💬
I wanted to take a moment to share something important (and maybe a little icky 😅) to help other pups and their humans!
It’s called acute moist dermatitis — also known as a hot spot. These red, irritated patches can pop up really fast and are super uncomfortable. My human noticed mine suddenly, and because it was so sore and sensitive, Dr. Godfrey had to sedate me just a little to shave and clean the area safely.
🚨Warning: The pictures might be a little hard to look at—but don’t worry, I’m one tough pup! 💪
My owner acted quickly and loves me tons, and I’m now on the right meds and feeling so much better already. 💊🤗So remember, if your furry friend starts licking, scratching, or has a weird red spot—don’t wait! These things can show up almost overnight.
Thank you to Dr. Godfrey for helping me feel better, to technician Cami for pampering me while I waited, and a huge thank you to my amazing owner for acting fast and getting me the best care possible. I’m one lucky pup. 🐾❤️
