I have an aging Lab (12yrs) it seems she has some irritation on both of her front shoulder blades, her hips are pretty bad and she has trouble scratching, however it appears she is rubbing the fur off down to her skin, it looks like there may be small lesions however I think it is from the inefficient scratching…anyways trying to avoid costly vet visit, per the interweb it seems like she might have hotspots, however not nearly severe as some of the images(do not google hotspot images after lunch)…it seems most of the research I have done points to cleaning area with hydrogen peroxide…just wondering what’s everybody’s thoughts or experiences with something of this nature…
