Todys tips-what is a hot spot
A hot spot is a painful circle of inflammation that occurs when pets rub, scratch, lick or bite their way into baldness. It usually occurs when something irritating, like fleas, starts bothering the skin. The more the spot itches, the more your dog will scratch and the larger the spot will get. Hot spots usually disappear on their own, but if the spot hasn't disappeared in 24 hours see a veterinarian.
