Conquer Dog Skin Issues: The Secret to Dandruff-Free Pa
It's quite normal for a dog to have a small amount of dandruff, which is a result of their natural metabolism. However, if the dandruff starts to increase abnormally, it's a sign that there might be a health issue at play. Conditions like skin infections, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and parasitic infestations can all contribute to an increase in dandruff on a dog's body.
When it comes to skin diseases, infections caused by bacteria, fungi, mites, and other parasites can all lead to an increase in dandruff.
Therefore, if the dandruff is diagnosed as being caused by skin disease, treatment should be tailored to the specific cause. This often involves skin scraping tests to determine the exact cause of the problem.
In cases of bacterial infections, common treatment options include antibiotics and antiseptic medications. For mild cases, topical treatments like Fusant (zinc oxide ointment) may suffice. For more extensive infections or severe symptoms, oral antibiotics such as Esudar (cefadroxil tablets) may be necessary to better control the infection.
For fungal infections, the primary treatment involves antifungal medications containing ingredients like terbinafine and itraconazole, such as Pipute (terbinafine hydrochloride spray) and Daktarin (ketоконазол cream). In severe cases, it's advisable to seek veterinary care for injectable medications.
In the case of mite infections, external parasiticide treatments are needed. For severe infections, the best course of action is to visit a veterinary clinic for mite eradication injections, and to complement this with antiinflammatory medications or topical treatments to control the infection.
During the treatment period, it's also important to enhance daily care:
Regularly groom your dog to remove dead skin and dandruff, promoting healthy skin circulation.
Keep your dog's living environment clean and dry, avoiding moist and dirty conditions that can harbor bacteria and fungi.
Administer medication to your dog at the same time each day and ensure they wear an Elizabethan collar consistently.
Boost your dog's nutrition with essential vitamins and phospholipids, such as by giving them Jinweibao (composite vitamin B tablets), which can aid in the recovery of their skin.
【Important Notes】
Avoid selfmedication: Never use human medications or unverified drugs on your dog, as this can worsen the condition or cause adverse reactions.
Seek veterinary care promptly: If your dog's dandruff problem persists or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, seek medical attention and follow the veterinarian's treatment plan.
Prevent recurrence: After the skin disease has been cured, take steps to prevent recurrence by scheduling regular checkups and deworming, and maintaining good daily care habits.
By following these measures, you can effectively address your dog's skin disease and dandruff issues, ensuring they have healthy and beautiful skin.
