I'm breaking up with our vet! I took Buddy to the vet last month for the hot spot on his tail. The vet gave him a steroid shot & said he would be fine & nothing else was needed. I thought this treatment was odd, but then again he's only had a hot spot one other time many years ago. At that time we were in Monroe and the vet shaved & cleaned the area on his back really well. Then gave a shot & prescribed a powder to apply daily. It was cleared up in no time. I had to take Buddy back to the vet the following week after he got the shot, because he wasn't any better & wouldn't stop licking/chewing on the hot spot. The 2nd trip the vet looked at it & prescribed an antibiotic & fitted Buddy for a cone to prevent him from irritating it more. Well, over the weekend we noticed it was even worse that the first time we took him to the vet. We decided to take him to the vet where he is usually boarded. They shaved & cleaned the area, prescribed an oral steroid, antibiotic & topical ointment. I could tell he finally was getting some relief right away.
Poor Bubba!
