What Holistic Remedies Will Help Black Spots On Borgi Groin
Our 1 yr old Borgi has tiny to 1/8 inch black spots, some are raised, in his groin area. Frequently bites and chews on his tail, pulling fur out, also bites at his legs and feet. I am now thinking these might all be related. I am wondering if there some holistic remedies to try before going to the vet.

Hey Becky!
My first thought at reading your post was fleas; pulling at the hair at the tail and chewing at the tail are common signs. You might consider a flea bath, or dipping in Ted's Mange remedy to see if you find fleas.
Next to consider is diet; read the label: if you see corn or corn products in the first 5 ingredients you should consider changing to a grain free diet as grain based diets have been linked to skin issues in dogs.
Lastly, I would consider alkalizing his water by adding baking soda, or even cleansing for yeast by adding borax to the water.
Good luck and report back!
