How are the hotspots now?
It is true, it could be an allergy, but not necessarily to food.
The inciting cause of acute moist dermatitis is usually a reaction to an insect bite. Fleas, ticks, biting flies and even mosquitos have been known to cause hot spots.
With the warm weather coming to a close and her condition clearing up..could it be a coincidence?
Check her over for fleas and ticks and treat as necessary just to be on the safe side.
Has your vet done tests for an allergy?
In the meantime, Good luck on the elimination process!
