Lockdown Lesson 1 Hot spots... and how to treat them. When your dog has a "hot spot," it means it has a localized area of skin inflammation and infection, often exacerbated by the bacteria, Staphylococcus intermedius. The infection can be either superficial or deep. Other common names for this condition include moist dermatitis, pyotraumatic dermatitis, and acute moist dermatitis. When these names are broken down, they mean: "pyo-" refers to "pus," "-traumatic" refers to the injury, in this case, it is the self-inflicted biting, licking, or scratching of a site that needs attention. "Dermatitis" refers to an inflammation of the skin. "Acute" means that it appears quickly, and "moist" means that the area has not been allowed to dry out and form the scab which is required in order for it to heal. Hot spots can happen at any time of the year, with warmer, more humid months being more commonly associated. Hot spots are a common skin problem, but that does not mean they should be overlooked or ignored. Causes vary, and it is best to visit with your veterinarian to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment. However, there are many measures of first aid and problem management that you can perform at home. The Cause.... Some dogs will "start" a hot spot due to boredom, anxiety, isolation, or other stress-related psychological problems. Usually, there is an underlying physical factor causing the dog to initiate extreme licking and scratching behavior. Look for these possible irritants on or even under the skin: Fleas Mites Other external parasites An insect sting or bite Injury (skin wound or scrape) Fungal infection Pollen allergy Allergic reaction Dry or cracking skin skin Ongoing pain from a previous injury First Aid treatments..... Hot spots can appear suddenly and grow rapidly in size. It is common for an owner to notice a small area of inflamed skin (perhaps only an inch or a few centimeters in diameter) in the morning, only to be met in the evenin

Founded from a love of dogs, to benefit the lives of animals in Rescues.

Founded from a love of dogs, to benefit the lives of animals in Rescues.

Quite simply, Pet Rescue First Aid Training was established following a length of time volunteering in the animal rescue sector, and wanting to do more for them whilst feeling adequately qualified to do so.

As a result of volunteering, our pack grew from 2 to 4..... and I took the initiative to become an accredited Pet First Aid Instructor.

Pet Rescue First Aid Training offers discounted Pet / Canine First Aid Training to any Rescue. Once the basic expenses have been removed, the balance of the funds are donated directly to the nominated rescue.
