<DIV>I have had good luck in the past treating hot spots with plain Listerine (
the original yellow kind) and alternating it with Colloidal Silver (from the
health food store). Just dab it on full strength with a cotton ball, and
let it dry. Do this several times a day.</DIV>

<DIV>Also, one of the things that I have discovered over many years in Bassets
is that they should never eat anything with soy in any form. Soy is not a
protein that canines can readily digest, and it can cause all kinds of skin
problems.</DIV>
