Re: [pyrnet] Hot Spots

[Shannon Russell <smrussel@neoucom.edu>]

Just an an FYI... My pyr Allie started to get hot spots near the end of last
summer.  Saturday we moved into a new house, Monday she was fine but by Tuesday
night she had 4 or 5 small hot spots all over.  This is a dog that is 7 years
old and had only had 1 small one before this.  

After about 3-4 weeks of trying to figure out what happened it was finally
determined that she was allergic to "Murphy's Oil Soap" that I used on the
hard wood floors.  

If you haven't changed anything recently and it's not the right climate for
hot spots I would look into any changes you've made in cleaning products.
 Even laundry detergent can do it.

Shannon, Allie, Levi
