Acute Moist Dermatitis (Hot Spots)
Overview
Acute moist dermatitis, also known as a hot spot, is a localized, moist, reddened bacterial infection of the skin often caused by self trauma. A hot spot starts because something irritates the skin. The body’s response is to itch, which further inflames the skin and increase itchiness. This creates a cycle of itching, scratching and chewing.
Hot spots can be caused by anything that irritates the skin.

Our clients can get nail trims FREE!
All pets must be current on vaccinations. If your pet is especially difficult to restrain, there may be a charge, however, this is not very common. No appointment is needed. Please note that Saturdays and holidays are not a good day to come, as the wait for a technician can be lengthy.
We are open 8am-6pm Monday-Friday.
Our clients also enjoy LOW prices on prescription diet foods, flea preventative, heartworm preventative and more! Feel free to call around. Let us know if you find a lower price in town : )
