    A white and brown female Teddy (#74) at site #13150 had what appeared to be some kind of rash on its underside. The abdomen had red spots with some of the spots being scabbed over. The licensee contacted the Attending Veterinarian two weeks ago. The Attending Veterinarian diagnosed the dog with hot spots and advised the licensee to wrap the area where the hot spots were to prevent the dog from licking at it. The licensee did not wrap the area and mentioned that the abdomen is worse now than it was a couple of weeks ago.
