Mia visited us this morning to address a couple of hot spots! ๐พ
Hot spots are superficial skin infections that often develop when a dog licks, chews, or scratches an area, allowing bacteria to overgrow on the skin.
Tech Landon clipped and cleaned the affected areas, and Dr. Chitwood prescribed antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory medication to help Mia heal and feel more comfortable. ๐
If you notice your pet excessively licking, scratching, or developing a red, irritated patch of skin, don't waitโhot spots can worsen quickly and are best treated early!
Feel better soon, Mia! ๐ถ
