I had a chow chow that suffered with hot spots during the summer they look like big blisters that oozes liquid. When they are healing they scab over but you have to watch the dog because they will reopen it. I know how you feel, it was a horrible site on my Candy Cane. I would keep her shaved all over except her head and tail.

It depends on how long the dog has been scratching. The first signs of a hot-spot are red irritated skin and then hair loss. After a few days the hot spot will break open and bleed, then scab. If scratching continues and/or the hot-spot is infected it may puss too, or leak a clear or yellow/greenish fluid that often smells as bad as it looks. Hot-spots can be caused by a lot of things and cause serious infections, so if your dog has one be sure to bring it to the Vet, I've known dogs who's hot spots are caused by everything from bug bites to food Allergies.
