I agree.  Take him to a vet.  I've never heard of using Listerine for an irritation or infection.  I would think that it is so harsh that it would make it worse.  He may just need some antibiotics to clear it up.
Can't wait to see the pictures!  Congratulation s! :)

Wow, I'm glad you have him too...he needs someone to look after him poor thing. He's found a good home.

Hello and welcome to BPO!

I would get him to a vet right away.  Those staples are going to be painful to remove, and I'm sure some are imbedded already.

I've also heard of Listerine being used as a mild aneseptic, although not for hot spots, and I wouldn't normally advise it if you have something better around.  I agree that if you can keep a collar off of him to keep down the irritation, that would be good.

Glad to hear he has a better home and is out of a bad situation.

Congrats on getting Axel.  I am in Texas also and while I don't have a dane my dogs only go out in the mornings and evenings right now.  Even on my days off they don't stay out long in the heat of the day. 

I have heard of Listerine being used as an antiseptic.  It's not my first choice but then again if it works then I would probably use it also.
