A little backrgound: My little boy Winston for sure has allergies. Environmental, lots of grasses esp. He is on a food elimination diet right now (IVR duck and potato). My vet wanted to give the food trial a chance before trying allergy shots. He has been scraped for demodex 4x in the past 2 months. (I demanded it) He has these round scabs forming all over his back. There was one today that was the size of a dime and a little raised and red. Uon searching his body i found that he had several of them hidden by his hair. He loves getting brushed so I do it a few ties a week. I think he likes it because he's itchy but i think it's irritating the scabs:( So back to my ?, do could these just be hotspots?!
