when we lived on the gulf coast in the panhandle our Cavalier King Charles spaniel had hot spots and a real skin problem with itching. The shots work but are hard on the vital organs. We used Benedryl and I gave him baths with epsom salts in the water and that helped quite a bit. There is also cortizone cream that stops itching. Regular people stuff.

The two Cavaliers that we have now in Louisiana dont have the itch problem but I imagine that after we are moved into TV they could start up with the skin irritations and allergies. We will then start the baths and benedryl program for them.

You can also get a numbing spray to put on those hot spots. I hope you can find a method to make your pup comfortable.
