<DIV>Regarding the hot spot--the first thing I would do is switch to a food with
no soy in any form. My vet just told me yesterday that every dog he has
had tested for allergies has come back with an allergy to soy. I also have
had good luck with treating hotspots with colloidal silver--you get it at the
health food store in liquid form. Just wet a cotton ball with it and put
it on the hot spot tow or three times a day. This works really well for
me.</DIV>
