Effective Treatment for Dog Skin Diseases: How to Manag

1. The primary cause of fungal infections in dogs is often attributed to inadequate drying after bathing, wounds on the dog's body, and general weakness or low immunity. The recommended treatment involves applying the Pityrocin spray all over the dog's body, three to four times a day, depending on the severity of the condition. Oral antibiotics can also be administered, though they can be quite harsh on a dog's liver and kidneys, so they should be used with caution.

2. Bacterial infections are commonly caused by unsanitary living conditions and poor hygiene in dogs' environments, leading to exposure to pathogens. Effective treatment includes injectable ivermectin or doramectin, administered once per week for eight consecutive weeks. Additionally, a dimethyl ether bath can be used, once every five days. However, it's crucial to be cautious with the concentration of dimethyl ether, as it can become toxic at certain levels.

3. Flea and tick infestations are often due to insufficient attention to detail during bathing and a dirty living environment, largely the responsibility of the owner. Treatment involves purchasing an external spray and using a finetoothed comb to remove the parasites. The owner can take this matter into their own hands to help their furry friend.

4. For canine skin infections caused by pustular folliculitis, once the condition is confirmed, the owner can use an external prescription treatment: 300 milliliters of metronidazole and an antibiotic such as gentamicin, taken three times a day.

5. Seborrheic dermatitis is not only a condition affecting dogs but humans as well. The main cause is a dysregulation of the body's own systems, leading to skin infections due to inadequate nutrition. Treatment involves purchasing antiseborrheic dermatitis shampoos and disinfectants from the pharmacy, allowing the dog to use them for one to two weeks.

6. Eczema has complex triggers, often related to a dog's susceptibility to allergies. Treatment with the external medication Saifukang is recommended, applied twice daily in the morning and evening for a week. Dogs' bodies, especially their skin, are not as robust as we might think, and they are constantly exposed to the elements. It's essential for owners to pay close attention to their pets' skin and provide proper care.
