What the hell is this? HELP PLEASE! =[ - Page 2

Right on Louise.  It looks like a hot spot to me.  Caused by opportunistic skin bacteria invading a skin irritation such as a flea bite.  Shampoo area with an antibiotic soap such as hibicleanse (a surgical scrub), apply something like Animax ointment, wipe with a Tucks medicated pad to relieve the itch and finish up with a dusting of Gold Bond Medicated Powder to dry out the area.  Try and keep him cool and dry as possible.  The idea is to create an unfriendly environment for the bacteria.  This remedy has never failed for me and I have never had to shave the area.

I have seen a similiar problem in a friends GSD.  Same areas and such.  It was indeed a staph infection... I agree with Louise and Proudshepherdpoppa.

Shannan  :)

Gentocin spray works wonders also.

Looks like a hot spot to me.

Hot spots.  Not only could it be food-related, but does she lie on a bed?  What kind of detergent do you use to wash her bedding?  I had an allegic reaction to one that made me itch like crazy, and had to find a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergent to use until I got over it.  Just something to consider.  You might have to put an Ecollar on her until they heal so she can't lick them.  Good luck!

Ok, educate me please. I understand Hot spots and have delt with them. You are saying that Staph pyoderma is the same as hot spots? Isn't staph highly infectuos (sp) and if so is it the same as human staph (knowing many types), can humans acquire it from the dogs? I googled it and this is what I found

From wikipedia:  

Hot spots occur as single, intensely pruitic (itchy) lesions resulting from self-inflicted trauma to the skin.  

Cause: The most common causes for hot spot development in the dog are allergic conditions associated with: flea allergies, atopy, food allergy, parasites (mange), anal gland problems, clipping and grooming (which can cause localized inflammation of the skin), or skin infection. Yeast infections, drug reactions, and autoimmune disorders are less commonly the cause of hot spots.

A role for Staphylococcus infection has been implicated in the development of hot spots. Staphylococcus infection as a cause for hot spots, however, remains controversial since Staphylococcus may inhabit the skin of many normal dogs without producing hot spots. Despite this, dogs with allergies have been found to have an increased number of Staphyloccus inhabiting the skin which suggests that allergies may predispose to both hot spot formation and Staphylococcus infections.

One day Google will own your brain, you'll have to get permission to use it.

Whatever it is you should see a vet, I would think if it keep's coming back it is serious enough and if your vet's stumped see another.

Vet said its nothing. Told me to stop the klaracid and change her diet to raw. He said she could have an allergy to rice. He told me to wash the red areas with peroxide and to apply an anti septic cream. He said its not a staph infection or fungus. Its a damn hotspot! =@ anyway thanks for taking out the time and replying guys! i really appreciate your help!

uvw she was on a beef and rice diet. Vet told me to stop the rice and give her the raw diet. She gets Chicken necks, backs, mined beef, green tripe, veggie mush and i supplement that with salmon oil and vitamin C and E.
