Guest Anonymous Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I heard him going to town chewing and licking so i picked him up and noticed he's cald onthe front of his leg with a little sore on it.. i put neosporin on it and covered it with a wrap so he wont bother it.. but i dont knwo what would cause this.. he's on frontline plus and i haven't seen fleas on anyof them in a while.. is he doing it froms stress? maybe he's mad i've been working the alst few days and he's been kenneld for a long time??

TDG Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 stress, boredom, allergies, all of them can cause dogs to lick excessively. i'd say probably boredom if he has been crated longer than usual. have you tried a frozen kong to keep him busy? :) lasts a bit longer than just regular stuffed ones.

gooeydog Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Are you sure it's not a hot spot DAL? I can't find any links with decent pictures, but they look like raw, kind of moist sores, and can be any size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDG Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 will he leave it alone while he's supervised? if yes, i'd rather say leave it uncovered so the skin can breathe and just dab it with a solution of tea tree oil and water now and then.

Guest Anonymous Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 no it can't be uncoverd becuase he keeps licking and eating it.. i think maybe it is a hotspot.. i'll have to do some reasearch as i dont know what causes this or how to get rid of them.... lol i know it's not from heat becuase it's only been the low 40's for a while now!
