by a Rottweiler . Zeus is lovely, well behaved & usually good tempered. However, he is prone to 'hotspots' (wet dermatitis). He has one near his tail at the moment and its obviously very sore & itchy and our other Rotty (Zak) makes it worse by licking the wound as Zeus can't reach it. We have to apply a gel twice a day. However,if we try to approach the wound we get a VERY definite 'NO' . We have managed to apply a bit by surreptitiously stroking him & feeding treats. Any advice regarding this would be really helpful. We'll probably have to muzzle Zeus so that we can apply the cream but how to stop Zak from licking it off when we aren't there.
