Answer 1

You can help your dog's hot spots by feeding her a food with no corn or wheat, and a supplement that helps her allergies, such as this one> http://springtimeinc.com/product/88/2
However, dog with allergies (hot spots) should not be used for breeding, as it is genetic, and will be passed on..
Hot spots are flea or food allergies..

FEMALE!!! I've met lots of males and seriously, compared to my female AND the ones I've met, the females are WAY better. But it also just depends on personal preference. Whoever you heard that stuff from obviously didn't know a lot about the Golden Retriever, both genders love to play, and females will play just as much as males. Females aren't moody, they are just as good as the males, in the Golden Retriever breed at least, this is not the case with all breeds. If you want a male, that's fine, they are just as good as the females, but at least the female wont hump things! I like female Goldens better, but that is just my opinion, this is really all up to you. ADD: And wait, you can't fix your dog? I suggest you do not get a dog until you can really afford it, if you cant afford to get it fixed, then you cant afford it at all. What happens if/when it needs medical attention? Don't get a dog if you can't afford it!

First - if you want to get her a male just because she is a pure bred - don't. There are many pure breed rescues, many in the pounds and shelters. No more dogs!! It's healthier to spay. She will live longer and be healthier!

Next, about the hot spots. Chances are, it's a food allergy causing them. Change her food (gradually - over a period of one week) to a premium dog food containing no corn, wheat, gluten and soy, no by-products, no BHA and BHT preservatives. The food you will need costs more, but you will be feeding less because of the digestibility and no fillers. You will probably see a dramatic change for the better, feeding a better food!

Good luck.

Answer 4

Hot spots are commonly caused from allergies, but it also can be from other things, like fleas or some other kind of irritation. The best thing to do it to take her to the vet so they can get you some medication. And until then, just try to keep her from licking or scratching at it. You can use an E-collar you get from a pet store, or like a snug t shirt if it is around her torso.
And sorry, i don't have a male golden, but Stella is a Really cute name.

Answer 5

Start by cutting the hair back away from the hot spots to allow air to get to them. Then go to a store & buy a can or two of SOLARCAINE spray. Apply as directed on the can. It can usually be found in the first aid isle....
We had a german shepherd with this problem & I found this worked very well. I applied it twice a day & it helped keep it moisturized & it healed it up pretty good. It also has a numbing agent to help with pain or itching. The spray is for sunburns, etc. & it works great for that as well.....

Answer 6

Start by feeding a higher quality dog food with less by products and fillers. No corn no wheat no soy would be a good start.
Also do not breed this dog as her allergies could be passed on to her pups and no one wnats more dogs with health problems.
Only breed good high quality sotck free from genetic defects, allergies are a defect.

Answer 7

superficial pyoderma, a skin infection known to veterinarians as pyotraumatic dermatitis and to dog owners as hot spots. Hot spots are surface skin infections caused when populations of normal skin bacteria grow and overwhelm normal resistance. They are generally circular patches that lose hair, can be swollen, may exude a smelly pus, and can be painfully itchy, causing the dog to scratch, lick, or bite to the point of self-mutilation. Untreated hot spots can spread and provoke a normally even-tempered dog to growl or nip when touched.
These troublesome sores can seem to arise in a matter of hours with no warning, but they do tend to follow a pattern that helps in predicting their occurrence.Dogs most susceptible to hot spots are those with heavy coats and histories of allergies, ear infections, flea infestations, irritated anal sacs, and grooming problems such as hair tangles and mats, but any dog can develop this infection. Dogs in warm, humid climates may develop hot spots when they shed their undercoats if the dead hair is trapped next to the skin, and dogs with behavior problems may mutilate themselves by licking and thus encourage an infection to become established.The most common locations for hot spots are the legs and feet, flanks, and rump — areas that can be reached by licking or biting — but these localized infections can also appear on ears, neck, and chest if the dog is continually scratching.Two approaches are neccessary for dealing with hot spots: treat the sore and remove the underlying cause to prevent recurrences.trim the hair around the sore to prevent further spread of the infection and expose the edges of the lesion; wash the area in a mild water-based astringent or antiseptic; be prepared to use antibiotics or cortisone if the washing does not give results. In severe cases, a veterinarian may suggest the use of an Elizabethan collar to prevent mutilation and give the spot a chance to heal.If the underlying cause is tangled or matted hair or trapped dead hair, put the dog on a regular grooming schedule either at home or at a grooming salon. Collies, Old English Sheepdogs, Shih-Tzus, and other breeds with long hair that tangles easily should be groomed at least twice a week so that snarls and mats do not form. Never bathe a dog with matted or tangled hair — comb the snarls out first. Clip mats if you cannot easily comb them out, and make an appointment for professional grooming every four-to-six weeks if you cannot keep the dog mat-free on your own.If the underlying cause is allergies, begin an aggressive campaign to rid your home and yard of fleas and work with your veterinarian on a plan to reduce allergy triggers for your pet. Household dust, plant pollen, lawn chemicals, and diet can all cause allergies or can build to a crescendo of allergies if the dog's sensitivities cross a threshhold. Frequent vacuuming, supplements to keep the skin and coat healthy, air purifiers, and baths in skin-soothing herbal or medicated shampoos with aloe, oatmeal, jojoba, or eucalyptus can help. Next step is over-the-counter antihistamines such as Benadryl or Atarax — with a veterinarian's approval. If these don't work, then steroids to reduce the inflammation and the immune system reaction to the allergen and perhaps antibiotics to cure the infected hot spot are the next course of treatment.If the underlying cause seems to be behavioral — if your pet doesn't have allergies or fleas or a more serious skin condition, but is so bored, stressed, or lonely that he maims himself with constant licking or scratching, he may need more exercise, playtime, and attention. This can be the easiest or the hardest treatment to implement because there's no pill or ointment for long-term success; the requirements are time, consistency, and perhaps an investment in training books, an obedience school, a dog sitter, or an animal behaviorist.

Answer 9

hot spots are often symptoms of allergies - you need to remove common allergins from her food
avoid - corn, beef, pork, soy, wheat, meatmeal (mystery meat)

do not breed her until you have shown her to prove she is a top example of the breed WORTHY of passing on her genetics
