Hot spots

Hello DF,

Couple weeks ago this appeared on Lexi's thigh after a park visit:


It's hard to see in picture, but her skin is pink/reddish and she has these little black dots. They look as if they were dirt but don't fall off.

Anyway, took her to the vet 4 days ago and he said it was just a hot spot and gave us an antibiotic for every 12 hours. Well I took that picture last night and there hasn't been any improvement.

As for Lexi, she seems completely normal, doesn't pick at it or anything.

I also looked up hot spots on Google and they look a lot more severe than whatever Lexi has.

Anyone got any ideas? :(

To me it just looks like she got a little scrape, like rug burn. But since it's been a few weeks it seems like it would have healed up by now. Are the antibiotics and ointment or pills? Personally I would give it the duration of the antibiotics, and if nothing has changed go back to the vet (and maybe a different one). Hopefully someone a little more knowledgeable will come by soon.
