As far as I understand it, and remember I am not a Vet, a hotspot is a fairly severe skin reaction. Read what I said about itch thresholds. Not all animals infested with fleas or parasites will develop hotspots. Just like not all people with food allergies will go in to anaphylactic shock. Only the worst cases that have the worst kind of reaction.
