My doxie too had hot spots until I changed her diet. First, remover any corn or chicken from her diet, including treats.
When did you first notice this? Was it when you changed her diet?

Subject: [dachshund-448] Any Doggy Dermatologist recommendations?
My 3 year old miniature Dachshund Bella, has severe "hot spots" up and down her tail. She bites and picks at her tail constantly. I've tried to put a cone on her to prevent this, but her little rascal of a brother always "saves" her from it. I have taken her to the vet for this three times already this year and he has given her two cortisone shots as well as an anti-itch spray. All seem to work temporarily but she always goes back to itching. Her vet is now recommending I take her to see a dermatologist for the problem. Can anyone recommend a good doggy dermatologist in the area? We are located in
Livermore.
Thanks!
Colleen
