The weather is wet and the dog itches.

Dog owners know that dogs are particularly prone to skin diseases in summer. Because of the season, dogs may be prone to red rashes because of wet weather and thick hair. These simple skin diseases may be cured by themselves, but many skin diseases are very easy to repeat. When the dog is slightly uncomfortable, it may keep scratching. This makes the wound very easy to repeat, and sometimes even one kind evolves into many kinds. So, when this skin disease occurs, how should it be solved?

We must first understand what is the main cause of skin diseases caused by dogs.

First, bacterial infection.

This is also the reason why we usually take the dog for examination. Doctors often tell us that bacterial infection is the most common cause of skin diseases. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common bacteria in skin. In medicine, we call it pyoderma. The most common causes of this disease, such as allergies, seborrheic dermatitis and rashes, can cause bacterial infections in dogs. When this staphylococcus aureus has favorable living conditions. It will stay on the dog's skin for a long time. Bacteria then enter the hair follicle. This kind of skin disease is most common in summer. Because it can be spread by flies, mosquito bites will bring bacteria to the dog's skin, causing infections and skin diseases.

Second, fungal infection.

This is also the most common in summer. There will be a lot of dander falling off the dog, and it will be confirmed that it is a fungal infection after inspection. The most obvious feature is skin moss. For some adult dogs, those with strong immunity may heal themselves. But for puppies and old dogs, the relative immunity is not so strong, so they are particularly prone to skin diseases. It doesn't mean that we adult dogs don't have to care about it when they are sick, but that to some extent, the owner may not find it. When it was discovered, the skin disease was slowly improving, even improving. When we find this situation, we must take the dog to choose the right medicine, which can relieve it faster.

Third, parasitic infection.

Parasitic infection is common in any season, especially in summer, because bathing without drying in summer is everywhere, and humid environment and low immunity may cause parasitic infection. The most obvious difference between demodex and fungal infection is that demodex is itchy. This demodex generally grows in hair follicles, so there are more puppies, which is why puppies will find that they are not fat even after eating them, and there will be hair follicle damage, hair loss and skin diseases. Therefore, compared with adult dogs, the immunity is high, and there is no way for this demodex to reproduce. Therefore, the probability of relative illness is relatively low.

The most common places of dog skin diseases are its armpits, stomach and groin. Because different breeds of dogs have different hair growth. Compared with long-haired dogs, they are more prone to skin diseases in summer, so owners must pay more attention. Maybe at first, we only saw local redness or scab, and even the skin was a little discolored and swollen. These may be the initial manifestations of our skin diseases. Of course, some dogs have serious skin diseases, such as scales, discoloration and even rot overnight.

How to treat the dog's skin disease every day?

If the dog really has a simple skin disease, it is not very serious. Our best way is to shave off the hair where the dog has skin diseases, so it is easier to take medicine. You can wash your dog with green tea water or light salt water every day, and then apply erythromycin ointment. Let the dog's living environment dry and refreshing. And in terms of diet, you must give your dog a light diet. The owner must remember that if it is not relieved at home for a day or two, it must be taken to the hospital, because skin diseases are easy to repeat and difficult, so it must be found and treated early.
