It is drying up and scabbing now. Which I hope is a good sign. Vet said it will be a good 10 days to get back to anything approaching normal.

Just FYI - undiluted tea tree oil applied directly to the skin can be toxic to dogs and cats. It should be diluted in water or oil before applying. I, of course, found this out after applying some to a hot spot one time.

This is a great thing to know!!! Thank you!
