I HAVE A DOG AT HOME THAT MUST BE ALLERGIC TO SOMETHING HE KEEPS GETTIN RASHES OR SOMETHING ON HIS BODY, THEY START OUT REALLY RED THEN HE STARTS LICKING ON IT AND SCRATCHING UNTIL THE HAIR IS MISSING. THE LAST ONE HE HAD WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF SPRING HE LICKED AND SCRATCHED A BALD SPOT ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL I HAD TO PUT HIM ON ANTI ITCH MEDICINE, ANTI BIOTICS, AND STEROIDS TO GET IT TO HEAL UP BUT I WANNA KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT IF I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS I'LL FIX IT PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to say without seeing it but I would suspect they are hotspots or become hotspots eventually. I would recommend Sulfadine. You can get it from Wal-mart. I would transfer it to a spray bottle for ease of application.

Is his bedding treated cedar chips? We had one that was allergic to the to treated chips. Put untreated ones in and he's fine now.
