<p>So glad you found something to help him! Good idea to check with the vet about the Benadryl since he is so young.</p>
<p>I think whatever your problem is someone here has an answer and solution. Wonderful bunch of people here. I've had dogs since I was 9 months old...my father got me a beagle pup...and I know a lot about dogs but I learned so much specifically about this breed that we all love and share our lives with from the people here.</p>

<p>Thank you!! We tried some watered down betadine to clean in up and hydrocortisone w/ aloe to help the itching and he's already doing better! Like, a thousand times better than yesterday.</p>
<p></p>
<p>He's only 9 months though.. so I'll hold off on the benadryl until I give the vet a call.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Wow, all of you are so great! Maromi is very thankful and a very happy dog for all of the advice!!!</p>

<p>The vet recommended an easy dose per pound. One generic or regular Benadryl dose is typically 25 mg per pill and one corgi is typically 25 lbs. - the recommended dose. The pharmacist was also helpful if you have any questions. As for the AC vinegar, Sully really doesn't like the spray either. I just pour, daub it on. She smells like a salad, but she loves having it "rubbed" on. I use the ACV and such as soon as I notice her scratching so I never have to put it on any open sores but…</p>

<p>If you suspect allergies and want to try the generic Benadryl...you use 1 capsule twice daily, I'm assuming he's a normal weight corgi. But it has to be the same as Benadryl...absolutely nothing with a decongestant in it. Max has bad summer allergies so he's on it from August till the first hard frost. Dose is per our vet.</p>

<p>i know our pembroke isn't crazy about the sprayer itself. hopefully that is all it is for your guy. But open wounds could sting, maybe retry it as a preventive once the hot spots are healed. Glad the hydrocortizone is tolerable. :) no fun to see them in pain.</p>

<p>It was actually right at PetSmart. Its a Burt's Bees spray. He doesn't like it though.. I don't know if it stings him or if he just gets scared by the spray itself. Trying the hydrocortizone w/ aloe instead, no complaints from him with that!</p>

<p>i have used apple cider vinegar diluted with water, half and half and it definately helps!! I fill a spray bottle with that solution. Where did you find the apple cider vinegar and aloe spray?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Edit: I haven't used the mixture of apple cider vinegar and water on actual hot spots, but when I see itching going on. It may sting on hot spots. </p>

<p>I bought a spray that has ACV and Aloe in it so hopefully he will start feeling better soon!</p>

<p>Oh... I forgot one more "miracle product." Apple Cider Vinegar" which I applied undiluted. It really seemed soothing to my pup. It was highly recommended and Sully really seemed to enjoy having it applied. BTW... I used cheap, disposable gloves to apply the various salves, ointments and vinegars. If you google "hot spots" you may find recommendations for ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) Sorry I forgot about it. Sully seemed to love its soothing powers. Good Luck!</p>
