Hey, I got a English Mastiff and every summer he gets hot spots on his tail and hind quarters. I did every thing under the sun to clear up the problem. I never went to the vet because I'm always strapped for cash. Even though I consider him part of the family (a very important part) the rest of my family always comes first. So I feel your pain when it comes to fact you don't have the money to take him to the vet.
Anyway, I was shopping at Walmart and found this stuff and it worked miracles for him. I started to spray him with it 3 times a day and it got to the point where he was ready and willing for me to spray him with it and he began to like it. When I broke the bottle out he would come right up to me ready to get his ass sprayed with it. He was cured in less than a week.
Here is the link.

Now I'm not saying this will work for you but it's cheap and it's all I use when he has skin irritations like you have described.
Hope this helps you out and I hope your dog gets well soon.
Peace.

Dude, REALY!!!
Just phone your local vet, the nice lady answering the phone will be able to tell you where you could take the dog for treatment, if they can't make a plan for you.
You are not the only person with financial tightness in the world at the moment. Don't put your pride above your loved ones.

just train on giving it to him orally. open the mouth and place it at the end of hes tounge and close the mouth holding it for 5 sec, if these doesnt work get a slice of cheese place tablet inside then roll, better also if you put garlic best way for tick and flea prevention, they love garlic and cheese. if your really planning to give him medication just remember to only give him half due to not prescribed by vets one half in the morning and one half at night 3 days max. if its hot spots were talking about because of the summer being too hot. make sure to change hes water twice a day better to add a little sugar . and place a good amount of shade for him to avoid strokes and liver problem.

I am merely a dog trainer, (27 years, retired for the last 8 ) but I have seen this hundreds of times and my clients (and friends) have asked me about this common problem as many times.
ONLY a vet should be giving you direct advse about medication...however, I can tell you this.
The bumps and raw patches you see are most likely a result of bacteria forming on the skin. The problem is exasperated by her constant licking and chewing of the area, which introduces a nice warm, moist patch where the bacteria can multiply.
I have seen Venician Violet (I hope I have the name of that right...it's been awhile)..work wonders. It is a purple liquid that Dr's used to prescribe to infants for a fungal condition called Thrush.
I believe you have to order it from a phamacy, it's still around and available over the counter, but if I recall it was cheap, yet not easy to find. try googling it to see if you can get it online. You just put it on and you have to cover the area because it will stain the shit out of anything it comes in contact with purple.

sounds kinda like fleas, but could more so be mites, as mites make the animals baldI have some issues with my pitbull,,,,If I get some response I will elaborate more....But she is always chewing her hind and legs and has bumps where she chews. Now shes balding and its getting out of control.....Thanks and +rep for some good help.

if its a an outbreak it will...i doubt though these is the case. most likely sharon is right about the bacterial or fungal infection. either u take your dog to the vet or dont go guessin what to give your dog. at least the safest is to just give her a medicated shampoo, if its external cream make sure he dont lick it

Now that sounds very likely that this is the case. Because the fleas are and have been under control. I will google it now....thanks, how often do I use the stuff and for how long leave it on?

Just go by the directions on the bottle when you get it. I don't imagine you'd have to put it on but maybe once or twice a day.
I can't stress enough how bad this stuff stains though, do be careful. You definately don't want to get this stuff on your carpet or furniture.
Know too, that I'll bet the farm that no vet is going to know about this remedy. I happened upon it by accident. One of my clients was a Dr., and he had a golden that I was training that had a hot spot. He had another dog too, and both dogs were licking the same spot on the one dog. Once he applied the VV, both dogs stopped licking the area. It must taste bad, lol.
I'm fairly certain it's harmless though other than the awful staining it can do. Doctors used to routienly prescribe it for even very tiny babys years ago. Thrush is a common ailment for them.

One other thing.
If your dog is allergic to fleas, (flea dermatitis)...it's the bite of the flea that is causing the itching. A flea can bite the dog, fall off, and the reaction starts. You might not see the fleas or gotten rid of them days before, and the havoc remains, so to speak.
At some point, you want to get the dog to the vet. Just don't expect them to understand this remedy. I told my vet about this, and she was perplexed as to why it would work.
I can't answer that, all I know is that of those who have tried this, have been pleased. YMMV.
