They can get pretty nasty and if the dog can chew or scratch, it spreads the
bacteria and the spot just gets bigger and bigger.  It's like an open, oozy
sore and if not treated, forms a crust over the ooze, the hair falls out,
etc.  Also stinks, LOL!  (I have a neurotic dog who's prone to them, no
matter what he eats, etc., etc., etc.)

Subject: Re: CS>Re: CS/EIS for hotspots

   I thought the bacteria also inhabit the under layers of  the skin, 
not just the top layer of cells. To get there, DMSO is needed. By 
itself, CS will only contact the top layer of cells. My understanding. 
How superficial is a hot spot?
