My 8 year old Male Siberian Husky who weighs 50.7LBS has either hot spots or lick Granulomaon his back (meat spots/little pus), scratches front elbows (scarred), chest (rashes), butt is red (bit his hair out). He's biting, licking and scratching.

He's a retired show dog, I just got him a couple days ago owner told me that he has a habit of scratching. He was on Propac Holistic kibbles and 1000mg of Evening Primrose. Since coming to my home, thinking he might have allergies I'm trying to eliminate kibble allergy by giving him 15.8 oz of minced lamb and supplements:

Vitamin E 100 I.U X 2

QBC Complex Quercetin 500mg, Bromelain 50mg, Vitamin C 1250 mg X 1

Salmon Oil Omega 3 1000 mg X 2

n*Zymes 291mg X 2

Multidophilis Lactic Flora X 1

Spirulina 200mg X 2

For the hot spots, I use diluted Tea Tree Oil to clean and Aloe Vera Gel for application.

Please help me and advise me with diet/ supplements and some recipes? I'm at my wits end. He's such a good and loving dog. I don't want to see him itching and uncomfortable.

I have a spray that I bought at our local grain store, and it was a quick fix before we found out what the problem was with our JRT. It helped alot, and the vet said to use it while we changed foods, as that can take awhile to have an effect. The spray is mand FromLipiderm. It is called Dermasol, Skin Care spray. Promotes healing of the skin, and is Fast Relief, and Alcohol and steroid free. It says spray 4 to 6 inches away from skin and apply liberally. And use 2 times a day. It also has a 100% guarantee!!
In teeny tiney letters it has a web site, Micelle Products, Inc.
AT least I hope that is what it said, I could bearly read it, it was so tiny!

This web site changed what I have written down for the website, and I would think that it would work better, but I don't have time now to check it out, Good Luck!

Yes, its best you take the dog to the vet. My dog gets hot spots from the grass
The vet told me to give him benadryl for the itching which works great!
His weight is 60 lbs so i give him as needed ,1 tablet once or twice per day
