  • I use Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Oil) with carrier oil, Jojoba oil. I drizzle on a cotton ball and apply to the hot spot.

  • We've tried EVERYTHING, and have found that Gold Bond medicated powder (in the green or gold bottle) works the best! Sprinkle the wound generously with the powder. It dries it up quickly, takes the pain away almost immediately, and it heals quickly. And we have tried many medicines, etc. We don't cut the hair, just sprinkle lots of the powder. Don't touch the wound, as it is VERY PAINFUL!

  • Very informative. Thank you.

  • Thank you Dr. Becker your such a great help!(", i used to think that all vets are evil and doesn't know anything but to take my hard earned money, but now i wanted to be a vet like you to help pet owners like me whose taken advantage by evil vet. thank you so much!more powers!

  • By the way Dr. Becker, you are great! The first doc I have seen that will try to treat without drugs. You do know your stuff, I have been learning and educating myself on natural healing for my dog for hot spots. I have not tried the betadine yet, i will do that today. Clean and dry clean and dry. I hope it works. I will keep you posted and all of your fans. Clean and dry, clean and dry.

  • My dogs eat a raw organic grass fed beef and free range chicken diet, no fleas. They r clean, i will spend any amount of money to help them. I have used manuka honey antiseptic spray, pasca-balm ointment, silver, chlorhex 2x 4% shampoo, homeopathic itch remedies, vetericyn, peroxide, shaved the hot spots, i dont want to use drugs on her. What am I missing? The hot spots are horrible. Washing makes it worse...though i let her air dry??? Maybe thats the problem. Help me.

  • my dog has now like 3 little bold spots in his body ... is this kuz of the hot spots?

  • VERY INFORMATIVE!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My dog got like 4 hotspots in 1 day then i noticed him scratching and i checked him he had tons of fleas i was like uh!!! I just gave him a bath yesterday.
