Poor little Clancy has a hot spot.And a bucket on his head to stop him licking it.
I hope the other dogs don't laugh at him.
ETA: On Thursday Clancy is going to the groomer to have all his beautiful feathering removed. Hopefully this will keep him cooler.

Psst...between you and me Lucy, what is a "hot spot"???
Oh he looks so cute with it on.
Sorry Lucky...I meant to put a link in.
I have rectified that now.
From about.com: Veterinary Meidicne:
A hot spot is a localized area of skin inflammation and infection. The infection can be superficial or deep. Other common names for this condition include: moist dermatitis, pyotraumatic dermatitis, and acute moist dermatitis.
These common skin lesions are usually caused (and made worse) by biting, licking, or scratching.
Redness, oozing, pain, and itchiness are hallmark signs. Hair loss is commonly present. Sometimes hair can mat over the lesion, obscuring the size and degree of the problem. These lesions can appear suddenly, and grow rapidly in size.
I hope he gets better soon Lucy.
PS yep, we're seriously thinking of another dog.
Get a girl and call her Violet (Crumble)
lol - mum wants us to get a make dog and call him Felix
