Been to the vet frequently. They prescribe drugs and expensive shampoos. She is bathed every 2 weeks. She is 13 yrs old. Although she is old, she is quite active, loves the water in summer but this condition persists all winter. Any advise?

SPinger spaniels are prone to allergic skin reactions so you better take it to the wet and get medication.
good luck =)

Did your vet do any allergy testing? Sounds like she has developed an allergy to something.

It's an allergy. My late shih-tzu who lived to be 14 started developing it at around 12. It was aweful. Spent lots of money on her at the vets but nothing seemed to help but steroid shots once a week. They got her down to taking the shots once a month when she started to get better. Good luck! Allergy testing is the next best thing. But it was to expensive for me.

follow the advice of the vet but I was given a homemade remedy for skin for my dog by this african lady that worked. It is zinc mixed with vaseline or any oily substance because zinc comes in a powder. It is cheap and you might have to have your pharmacist order it because it isn't often used these days. But I made a paste of it and put it on my dogs back and it healed hot spots for good.
