...And your vet says it the cause is the lawn? Perhaps you should follow up with what your vet is thinking (ask about fertilizers, insects, fungus).
One of my dog has had her share of hot spots, and my wife (and our vet) has said that it is most directly related to incessant licking (where the bacteria comes from). Now that licking has come from a few sources: bug bite, something she ate that's delicious going out (some gets on her tail), injury from another dog.
It would be helpful to find the root cause, and unless your dog's allergic to grass then there's some more investigation needing to be done.

Thank you Jeremy,
Yes, i am quit stumped about the hot spots on our dogs.. couldn't get them from licking as they are either on the back or on the side of the cheek? I don't know what my vet is thinking..maybe from wet grass? or maybe there is bacteria in the grass... we do have golphers that are making some lovely holes in the yard.. isn't that fun!
if anyone has any ideas.. i would love to hear
Thank you,
Julie
