Dog Skin Lesions: Identifying Common Skin Diseases

Section 1: What Causes Bumps on a Dog's Body?

1. Fungal Skin Diseases: Both humans and dogs can suffer from this common skin condition. Don't worry; it can be easily managed by applying a standard antibacterial skin ointment, such as Fu'ant Soft Cream.

2. Parasite Bites: Bumps on a dog's body might be a result of an allergic reaction to parasites. Identifying the type of parasite is crucial, and it's advisable to take your pet to a veterinarian for proper treatment.

3. Mites: An overpopulation of mites can lead to bumps on a dog. Regular cleaning and using products like Pu'an's Avicide Transdermal Solution for regular deworming can help prevent this issue.

4. Eczema: This is a skin condition often caused by bacterial infections, typically due to damp and unclean environments or weakened immunity. Treatments like Funuo Skin Spray and Zinc Oxide Ointment can be effective, but be aware that eczema can recur easily. Always ensure to check for proper medication while also implementing preventive measures.

Section 2: How to Deal with Bumps on a Dog's Body?

1. Isolation and Disinfection: Many skin diseases in dogs are contagious. To prevent the spread to humans or other pets, it's important to isolate your dog in a dry, wellventilated area. Wear gloves, collect all your dog's belongings, and thoroughly disinfect them. Regularly clean the floor where your dog spends time as well.

2. Consistent Treatment: Wear gloves to examine your dog's fur carefully, locating all the affected areas. Apply the appropriate veterinary spray or ointment, and consider using an Elizabethan collar to prevent your dog from licking the affected spots. Some skin conditions can cause severe itching, leading to frequent scratching. It's essential to trim your dog's nails to prevent selfharm.

3. Nutritional Support: Dogs with bacterial or fungal skin diseases often suffer from malnutrition and low immunity. Ensure your dog receives a wellbalanced diet rich in nutrients, including highprotein treats like canned food or goat's milk powder. Supplementing with multivitamin B can also aid in skin repair and boost your dog's immune system.
