I know this sounds dumb, but the remedy offered with the cider vinegar, do you put it inside or outside the dog???? The human remedy called for outside. My Cavaliers won't touch the stuff for their insides! My show Cavaliers is chewing down his feather on his feet. I've taken him to the vet for a shot and it only helped a little bit for about a week. I'm coming up on some shows in the next two months and need those feathers! Any suggestions? Cathy

If the spot is crusty or very goopy, wash it first with a mix of Povodine Iodine and warm water. Get all the goop and crust off so the area can dry. Then spray with Bactine. After you have it cleaned, the Bactine should stop it from getting goopy again and spraying once a day until the scab is gone should do it. Have found this is the fastest way to clear them up. Hot spots are painful to the dog and the washing and spraying will sting, so be as gentle and loving as you can, but this will clear it up fast and keep it from spreading.
