Dog Skin Disease:腐烂流浪狗的困境与救治 英文 Decaying Stray Dogs: T

Section 1: Mites

Once you've preliminarily identified that your dog is suffering from a mite infestation, it's crucial to visit a veterinarian for a definitive diagnosis before administering any medication. Using the right treatment is essential to avoid exacerbating your pet's condition. Many skin diseases in pets are zoonotic, so pet owners must take precautions to protect themselves and their families.

For dogs, the treatment of skin conditions often requires Bcomplex vitamins. We use humangrade multivitamin B tablets because during the course of treatment, your dog's skin immune system and surface environment can be severely compromised, and Bcomplex vitamins are vital for restoring skin immunity.

Skin Kexin Ointment is a highly recommended medication, despite not containing ivermectin, it boasts strong mitekilling properties. The dosage should be adjusted according to your dog's weight and the severity of the condition. Applying it directly to the affected areas is more effective. Additionally, fit your dog with an Elizabethan collar to prevent them from licking the medication.

Medicated baths are an essential treatment method. While many pet hospitals recommend 887 or Huazhitang formulas, their effectiveness may not be ideal. Some pet owners have found a more effective skin disinfectant: Virkon, which is effective against mite and fungal infections. The broadspectrum Virkon disinfectant is gentle, nonirritating, soothing, and highly effective against mites. Purchase the skin disinfectant solution for use in medicated baths or direct application to the affected areas. After your dog's bath, apply the undiluted solution directly to areas with mites. This is a highly effective method to alleviate itching, reduce scratching, minimize hair loss, and prevent skin redness.

Maintaining a clean living environment is the most important aspect of the treatment process. Ensure thorough disinfection, allow your dog to bask in the sun to promote skin recovery.

Section 2: Canine Ringworm

Canine ringworm is one of the most challenging skin diseases to treat. It's advisable to take your dog to a veterinary clinic and be prepared for a longterm treatment process. Ringworm is often not curable and tends to recur annually.

The best course of action for dogs is to have a veterinary examination to determine if the skin condition is fungal in nature. Diagnosis suggestions: wash the dog's body with sulfur soap, remove scabs, then apply iodine tincture and citrus acid. Administer a single dose of clindamycin intramuscularly for three consecutive days as a preventive measure. Prevention: Pay attention to your dog's health and the cleanliness of the environment, keep it dry, expose it to sunlight, and ensure good ventilation.

Section 3: Mosquito Bites

For dogs bitten by mosquitoes, help them to drain the pus, then apply iodine tincture several times a day. Generally, scabs will form within three days. You can also use a soothing pet bath as an additional treatment.

Dog skin diseases are primarily categorized into three types: fungal infections, bacterial infections, and mite infestations. Although the symptoms of these skin diseases vary, they all require prompt treatment based on the specific condition.
