[Dailydrool] raw spot in/on dewlap

[Sue Stevens]

It's been quite some time since I've been on the Drool - or posted. 
My condolences to those who have lost houndies recently - and prayers 
for health for those who are suffering.

Our Onslow is enjoying the warm breath of spring here in Ohio.... but 
that also means his seasonal allergies are kicking in. Since he was 
full grown, Onslow has had something of a bald/raw spot in/on his 
dewlap (the folds of his neck) but this spring it's particularly 
nasty. We will probably need to take him into the vet because I 
suspect it is infected and he'll need to be on an antibiotic  again 
as he has in the past for his groin area when his allergies get bad.

Today I have swabbed it twice today with diluted hydrogen peroxide 
(1/2 water) and it seems a bit better this evening. I know this is a 
typical basset hound complaint. What recommendations and advice can 
our fellow Droolers give us?

thanks in advance for your advice!!
