My girlfirend Dee told me she was putting AVC on her dog's hot spots. After 1 day the spots turned white and after a week the hair was growing back from where the dog scratched it out. Had she gone to the vet it would have taken 3 + weeks for the spot to turn white and even longer for hair to grow back (not to mention a lot of money) She & I have Rottweilers and go though the hot spot phase every summer with our dogs. When she told me this, I checked the web and found your site. I forwarded the information to her to read and we now are firm believers in ACV's cures.

Ask Dee if the spots turning white. Was that a dry healthy white or wet all most infected looking white?

About 2 months ago, I began using apple cider vinegar in Lady's water; 3T. to a gallon of water and also spraying it diluted on the areas that she had licked and chewed until they bled. I added brewers yeast and olive oil to her daily meal and used a cone on her head when I wasn't with her to stop the licking. I used a plain aloe and olive oil balm on the skin after the vinegar dried. She doesn't need the cone any more as her skin is great and her hair is growing back in.

HOT SPOT TREATMENT
I just wanted to share a really quick and easy remedy that helped cure a hot spot in my dog. I used some medicated Golds Bonds Powder and would lightly dust it over the wound after I had cleansed and used some other hot spot gel it really helped to soothe and treat the area and dried it as well. He was able to relax and sleep good.
