	My Bichon has hot spots too. So far the vet has tested for many different things but has not found the source of the problem. I am looking for a solution at this point instead of the cause. Were you able to find something that worked? We have tried numerous limited ingredient over-the-counter and vet-only types of limited ingredient dog foods. Some have helped but we have not found anything that has made a big enough difference to stop taking the prescribed medications. I have heard holistic food may help, so we are going to try that next. How is everything now with your Bichon. What worked and what did not work? Any help would be very much appreciated.

	OP, you should move this thread to the Health Forum. I'm sure you will get lots more help there.

	The last time Noah had a hot spot I tried a home remedy that worked pretty well. I took a green tea bag, got it wet and pressed it up against the hot spot. I then wrapped an Ace bandage around Noah's leg for about 15-20 minutes. I did that a couple times over the course of a couple days and it really seemed to help clear it up and relieve the itching.
