All dogs/cats/rabbits can get hot spots. Hot spots happen when the coat and skin gets damp and then the weather is humid and sticky. Bacteria grows in the area, and soon, a hot spot appears. It is a wet part of the skin that's red raw and sore, and then bluebottles lay eggs on the open wound, which hatch into maggots, who in turn burrow into the damaged skin, eating it. Please get your pets groomed regularly and inspect your pets skin for any open wounds
