Possible Hot Spot?

All,

I noticed the following on our Mastiff‘s hind leg. It must have appeared suddenly. I didn‘t notice it early in the morning, but around noon when I got back home after buying groceries.

He did not have any actual injury, so I assume he must have bit it. I tried to clean it and used some topical antibiotic spray. Of course this happens on Sunday...Regardless, I‘ll have it checked out by a vet tomorrow.

The vet wasn‘t too concerned. They cleaned the wound and we are using topical antibiotics now. If it doesn‘t improve, they will consider oral antibiotics. For now, he‘s leaving it alone, which should help the healing process. It looks much better than on the pictures from yesterday. Thanks and I will keep you posted.
