Dog skin disease should be a headache for many dog owners. As the owner of a Dalmatian dog, he has been struggling to fight against dog skin disease. In this process, he has been suffering from a long illness. Therefore, I share some experience with you dog owners, hoping to help you.

My Ram belongs to seborrheic skin, a bit like a bulldog, a big oily skin, and also the skin that loves to develop skin diseases, just like people with oily skin love acne, so Ram has to deal with skin diseases every three to five times from childhood to adulthood.

Born a skin disease how to do?

First of all, you need to know what kind of skin disease your dog has, so that you can prescribe medicine according to the symptoms. There are still many kinds of skin diseases in dogs, the most common ones are eczema, fungi, parasites, etc.

1. eczema:

the main symptoms are small red spots and erythema on the skin, which usually appear on the limbs and back. the skin will thicken and desquamation, and the back hair will harden. The cause of the disease is generally caused by the external environment, such as dark and humid environment and so on.

2. Fungi:

the main symptom is hair removal (here is different from seasonal hair removal). This kind of hair removal is not whole body hair removal, but local hair removal. Sometimes there will be alopecia areata. The location of the disease will be white powdery scab, surrounded by red bulges. Common in the head, limbs and so on. The cause of the disease is generally not dry bath, malnutrition, endocrine disorders, etc.

3. Parasites:

have symptoms of skin redness, yellow scab on the surface, and hair removal and itching. Multiple in the head, back, abdomen. Parasite Ram has not been able to get it, so the details are not in this class.

Next, after analyzing the types of skin diseases according to the actual situation of our dogs, of course we have to carry out simple treatment.

For the treatment of skin diseases, it also depends on the severity of the skin diseases. If it is an initial local skin disease and is found in time, then the dog owner can handle it by himself. For eczema, I will give Ram dyclonine hydrochloride solution and spray it on the affected area about 3-4 times a day.

If it is a fungus, it is necessary to deal with the infected area first. First, gently remove the scabbed and dead skin from the affected area to expose the skin, then clean it up with hydrogen peroxide, and then spray it on the affected area 3-4 times a day.

If the dog at home has reached the level of systemic infection, it is recommended to go to the pet shop to shave off the dog's hair and soak in a medicine bath at least once a week. Medicinal Bath I gave Ram a medicinal bath set from St. Louis, and of course the pet store has its own medicinal bath, which the dog owner can choose for himself. If there is no improvement, it is suggested that the dog owner should seek medical treatment in time. Serious skin diseases need injection treatment.

Skin diseases are repeated and often relapse, so dog owners should not take it lightly after the dog's skin disease has fully recovered, especially those dogs who love skin diseases. Dog owners should often observe whether their baby's skin is abnormal.

you can regularly do a full-body examination for your pet, especially pay attention to the parts where your pet has had skin diseases and their surroundings, such as limbs, head, abdomen, back, etc., and touch whether there is any skin bulging. If you find uneven back hair and local itching, you should deal with it in time.

A little advice for the shoveling officers.

Finally, is to give the dog owner some additional small advice:

1. love skin diseases of the dog can often feed some lecithin, I give Ram feed are Mede's health care nutrition series, dog owners can refer.

2. Be sure to use dog-specific shower gel. You must not use human shower gel. For dogs with seborrheic skin, you can try to use Le Fang Xi Shi deep cleansing shower gel. This is one of the few shower gels I have found for dogs with seborrheic skin. It doesn't have much foam, but it does not remove oil well.

3. It is necessary to do deworming in vivo and in vitro on a regular basis. I do deworming once a month for puppies aged 3-6 months, once a month for dogs aged 6-1 year, and once a month for adults over 1 year. In vivo deworming can choose Bayer Baipangqing, in vitro deworming can choose Fulian drops, which are the products that my two dogs have been using, and are also recommended by conscience.

4. For skin diseases, some of them are caused by endocrine disorders. For example, Ram, a girl, once had inexplicable false pregnancy (I was also a question mark face at that time). Therefore, in addition to his large oily skin, endocrine is also a reason. The best way is to do sterilization to reduce the incidence rate. (As a dedicated excrement shoveling officer, I am still unable to prevent Ram from having skin diseases. I am also very bad.)

Now the new year 2019 is coming. I hope the dogs can grow up safely, healthily and happily!!!
