Numbers that are within the inner fences are considered reasonable.'' The whiskers go to the farthest numbers that are within the fences. Then we go out a distance of 1.5(IQR) again from the inner fences, and draw the outer fences. These are more for show and to make the neighbors jealous.
Why Do Hot Spots Occur? Anything that irritates the skin and causes a dog to scratch or lick himself can start a hot spot. Hot spots can be caused by allergic reactions, insect, mite or flea bites, poor grooming, underlying ear or skin infections and constant licking and chewing prompted by stress or boredom.
There are few things as frustrating for a dog as a lesion of the skin called a hot spot. Hot spots, also known as acute moist dermatitis or pyotraumatic dermatitis, are red, itchy, oozing skin infections that initially emerge as circular lesions, usually on the head, over the hip, and along the side of the chest.he irritation causes the dog to lick and chew the skin. It is the dog's licking and chewing that actually causes the hot spot. Hot spots can arise very quickly: a flea bite can dramatically change into a large oozing and painful wound several inches wide in just a few hours.
