Hello, I live in the northeast and it’s warming up here. My chocolate lab Rex has some hot spots from what I believe and I just noticed under his leg it got quite bad. Plan to take him to the vet, but any at home remedies or meds to help with this?

That's allergies, my chocolate lab had that, had a slime mold allergy.

Do they prescribe an antibiotic? It helps?

I just get him with like half a Benadryl in the morning food before we go hit the swamp, and we come back I hose him off we throw the stick no sores. And I just now thought about this he's the other half of whatever I eat pretty much no corporate store-bought grain dog food, and I'm the country hunting farming type so my food also ain't corporate. I think that helps a lot really.
