Thanks for the tip Chris. I will keep that in mind and watch how this thing
heals in the next couple of days.

Just be careful with the peroxide, it can actually prevent proper healing if
used to much. Weird but true. I was doing that with Momma's back as well
until I talked to the vet about it. I did notice that it worked great when
I first started using it, but eventually the spot stopped healing.

Subject: OT: Update on the 'hotspot' on Stretch's back
Hey guys,
Stretch's back is healing up quite nicely! Thank you for the advice! The
spot was larger than a quarter, and it was just raw skin-no fur and the top
layers of skin were missing; it was completely reddish, poor baby. I had
already had him on a course of antibiotics, which I'm sure helped, but after
reading advice from this site and another, I started using hydrogen peroxide
3-4 times a day to disinfect the spot, and immediately after, I would put
antibiotic cream on her. The spot is now the size of a dime. It's healing
from the edges in, instead of forming a complete scab. Weird, but
nevertheless, it is healing, thank goodness! I really think that it might
have been a spider bite instead of an allergic reaction, but we will never
know.
:)
