YAAAAAAWWWWN !!!! Sorry!
Wow, this is the longest I've ever slept ! One week! Since I lied down in my bed last WW I could never get up again! Until now... I even missed yesterday's WW and didn't post anything. OOPS!
Don't know how I managed to sleep like that for so long but, I must say this bed is really cozy and comfy... I missed you guys, did you miss me too? :)
Ok, I'm pretty relaxed now and back to work, back to blogging. So, I'll tell you about one of my episodes, not one of the nicest though... Actually, one of the nastiest.
Let me begin by explaining the post's title. Hotspot and hot spot are 2 completely different things. The first is the good stuff like free internet in a public place, also called Wi-Fi. The second however, is something really bad that can happen to a woofie. So, what exactly is it and how do you get it?

So, if you took a glance at the quick explanation, you can imagine what I went through. I went to my doctor and he prescribed an ointment plus some warm towel compresses 3X a day, which I refused to have applied onto my skin and thus causing much trouble between me and Dad. I gave him a really hard time when he tried to touch me with the damn towel. It hurt! We fought each other real bad :(
The spot was in my neck area so it was really easy for me to try and bite Daddy's hand. Sorry Daddy...
It took me about a week to heal and that particular week happened to be one of the worst weeks of my life! The medicine was making me sick and I was miserable! Thank God I fully recovered from that and I haven't had another hot spot ever since!
I don't know why I got this because I'm so well taken care of but, you know, maybe one day Mama felt lazy after a walk in the rain and didn't dry me well or I could have a huge hair mat close to my skin and bacteria got underneath it. Lesson learned, now Mama combs me more often and she ALWAYS dries me with a hairdryer when we come back from a walk in the rain or snow. Well, I'm not blaming her for what happened to me; it can happen to anybody. Keep your woofies tangle and moisture free!
No more hot spots!
Look at our grooming session in the video below. I'm sooo hairy!

Oh Sushi.. no wonder you went missing for so long.. hot spot sounds really bad and after reading from the link you provided.. i know it's really bad.. Aggie has rashes too sometimes.. but it's because she likes to lick under her neck all day... so it's literally wet all the time..
Hope you feel better soon. .. and dun give mommy and daddy a hard time ok.. they love you so much.. :)
A hot spot does not sound like any fun at all!
I liked seeing your grooming session. You seemed so relaxed and happy. You have pretty furs.
My dog, Bridget, had hot spots a few months ago too. The vet shaved the site of the sores. Good thing her hair is back to normal now.
Our Qay used to get hot spots all the time. no idea why... I've found that witch hazel works wonders.... glad you are heaing up!
Sushi... I love your video.. you look like you are really enjoying your grooming.. you are such a good woofie.. my kitties does not like to be groom except Smokey who also only lets us comb his face...lolzz!
Have a great Sunday dearie.. meowiee!~
Hi Sushi! I just watched your grooming session. Oh, boy, you are really hairy.
My cats like a little brush here and there. It feels nice, doesn't it?
I have posted two beautiful awards I got from some friends a few days ago. I offered to all my friends. Feel free to pass them on if you wish as well.
Have a wonderful week!
XOXO
Hi Anny, welcome to My Pooch Life.
Tell Piper he'll have a Dingo at the end of the grooming session and he will be as patient as me :)
Woof!
Hi Marzie I missed you too! The hotspot was not the reason why I went MIA! I was REALLY sleeping hehehe ;)
Thank God that was some time ago, but this blog is a bit messy with the "seasons" the hot spot is from my 3rd season...
Thank you for the "pat pat" and for peeking out so many times thru EC and PW too!!
PS: I'm no longer on MPG's list! sob,sob,sob....snif...
Hello LJ, I missed you Lady!
I'm ok now, I guess my long nap made you guys think I was having the hot spot, I'm totally fine, I was just writing one episode of my 3rd season and that was just perfect to illustrate with my grooming session video ;)
PS: How can one lick his/her own neck? Those kitties... Meow!
PS2: it looks like the vaccum cleaner works for grooming too! Saw that on Cat Tales hahahaha!
Hi Daisy, see? I'm also curly like you! Thanks for the compliments on my furs hehe!
The hot spot is loooong gone! YAY!
I behave for Mama because I know she'll give me a prize if I let her comb my furs...
Hello Aunty Claudia, woof!! Missed ya! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and the brush thru my hair does feel nice... until it runs into a knot... Thanks for all these awards, I have to really look carefully now not to miss any! Thank you and woofies :)
Hello Mrs G, poor Bridget! Mine was in a small area in the neck/chest. It was small but boy it hurt and itched! I think I had my hair a bit shaved there too. Woof!
Woof swecrazydoglady! Welcome to My Pooch Life! Poor woofies, hot spots all the time??
I had it only once and hope I don't have it anymore !!
Good think you founf a solution, I'll ask Mama to look into witch hazel, interesting, thanks ;)
woof sushi!! im glad you're all rite now! Ariel said she understood exactly how u must have felt because she always get the hotspot on her leg due to her constant licking on that particular area. HUGZ to you from Ariel.
omg, when you mentioned hot spots, i could imagine the smells already. The smells of the blood when the hot spots burst. eww...
our doctor adviced us to submerge the part where it is infected into hot water + some salt. 10-15 mins daily. After that, apply some aloe vera or the medicine perscribed by doctor and wrap with with a cloth. We have to do the submerging for 10-15 mins daily until it burst. Usually, Ariel will get healed after 3-4 submerging. :)
sushi, i cant view yr video now but i'll be back to view it later tonight, k! Take care!! :)
sushi, im back and i can view yr video already! gosh, you're so patient. no wonder yr mama & papa love u so much. :) brownie wouldn't stay still when i comb her. ><
YAY Jean, I'm glad you could finally see my video! Aren't I a good boy? I know I'll have a yummy treat that's why I cooperate with Mama! Make sure you offer A & B a treat after the grooming session and they will sit still like me:)
Oh My, oh my hot spot, I have the creeps just by thinking about it. It stinks real bad ewwwww! But thank God I only had it once and I hope no more!
