My dog had this all last summer, and has just started with it again. I frequently bathe his foot with epsom salts/water, but your remedy seems so logical. I plan to try it immediately, as I already have Pawtectors.
Has anyone had an additional problem of a toe nail turning blakc over time in addition?? This happened to my dog and the vet didn’t know what caused it, so treated in various ways over the winter. It eventually grew back out clear, but now I’m concerned that it is connected to the hot spot condition and will reoccur. I plan to ask my vet, but would love to hear anyone else’s experience.

you know my dog is the same way but once she is healed she continues to lick her foot when we’re not looking and in the middle of the night…we have gotten an “E-collar” that she has been wearing for like 5 months off and on now….she constantly chews up her back feet to the point of gnawing all of the hair off and making it very irritated and red….I just don’t know what to do anymore. We have been to the vet and have been told its probably allergies and whatnot. I’ve even bought bitter apple gel for hot spots and that works but more so when we first got it.

If I didn’t mention it before … Careful with the Neosporin. Neomyacin is a very powerful antibiotic that can harm your dog’s nervous system if they ingest it, which is why I always cover things up.

YEAH MY DOG HAS THE SAME THING, I PUT NEOSPORIN ON IT AND DECIDED NOT TO COVER THE TOES UP MUCH AND LET AIR IN THEM AND PUT A COLLAR AROUND THE NECT SO SHE WONT BE ABLE TO BITE HER TOES. SOMETIMES I COVER THEM UP OTHER TIIMES I JUST PUT THE COLLAR THE HUGE COLLAR SO THEY CANT TOUCH AND IT HELPS. I FIRST PUT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO CLEAN IT AND THEN THE NEOSPORIN AND WRAP IT UP WITH THE GAUZE THAT STICKS OR JUST PUT THE COLLAR
