NickB65 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Just found a little hot spot at the top of Blues leg and I was wondering what people use to treat hot spots? I can take him to the vet and they will offer antibiotics, creams steroids and god knows what but before I go down the money train I wondered if anyone had any proven treatments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I use Zambuk by Rose&Co, made to the original Fisons recipe. Good for cuts and spots on humans too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickB65 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well I purchased some NUSTOCK from the internet and after one application and three days the hot spot is gone. Yes it stinks and tastes terrible but that means Blue didn't lick the stuff and I am really pleased with the results... Yes I will keep an eye on the area but so far I am impressed.
