Hi, y’all, this is my first post ever so hopefully I don’t mess up. I’ve had a reactive dog for a few years now. We are seeing a trainer, working on muzzle training, and I found a mobile vet who comes to the house. Things have been pretty smooth lately. I have no idea what happened but all of a sudden, he has a hot spot on his face and despite the cone he’s wearing, it’s gotten bigger and significantly worse. The difficulty is the area where he’d be wearing a muzzle is raw. I’m giving him Benadryl, about to buy a more structured cone, and besides that, I’m at a loss. He won’t let me put anything on it and I’m not sure if anything is recommended. I’m hesitant to ask the vet to come by because he can’t wear a muzzle but I guess that’s something I can do next week. Is there anything else that I should be doing? I wanted to post here instead of any conventional dog advice threads because those posters will just tell us to go to the vet.
