1. Lice and fleas

This is the most common problem that occurs in pet dogs. The appearance of lice will not only affect the dog's skin health, but also our parents themselves will suffer. This is why our parents do not regularly remove their dogs. The result of regular cleaning of worms is too lazy. This problem will appear anywhere on the dog's skin. If we remove the fur and see the small black spots or white spots left by the worms on the dog's body, That means there is already a problem. The black dots are feces and the white dots are eggs. If you find this situation, you need to buy a topical spray or lotion, or take it to a specialized pet store. Although this problem is not a big problem when it comes to pest control and cleaning, it must be cleaned and dewormed regularly. Parents must pay attention to it! There is only one reason for this problem, and parents are lazy!

2. Mites

The causes of this skin disease are nothing more than a humid and unhygienic living environment, contact with sick dogs and other pathogens. It easily occurs in the eyes, ears, nose, and chest, and then develops to the trunk and limbs. The boundary between this skin problem and healthy skin is not particularly obvious, and it is large and The skin in the affected area will thicken, the skin in the affected area will crack and bleed, and the dog will feel very itchy, and will scratch and scratch out of instinct, which will become serious.

Preventive treatment

Treatment:

First of all, clean the affected area where the fungus is present quickly and thoroughly, and cut off the surrounding hair directly to a slightly larger area. This will help the direct penetration of the drug and prevent the fungus from spreading.

Next, we need to start applying the medicine. The area of ​​application should be larger than the area of ​​the affected area. The advantage is to prevent the spread of fungi and inhibit the fungi that may spread. Simply apply the medicine externally. If you insist on applying the medicine, there will be obvious results in a week or so. It usually gets better, and recovery is more common in about half a month.

Give your dog regular baths. For dogs with skin diseases, it is recommended to use disinfectant bath liquid or special shampoo. Dog bathing utensils should be disinfected with potassium permanganate or 84 disinfectant. Be sure to dry off after bathing.

Let your dog have enough time in the sun every day. The ultraviolet rays in the sun have a good effect on killing mold, but be careful not to expose it to the sun or stay in the sun for a long time. Don’t let your dog get heat stroke due to exposure to the sun. Supplement nutrients in food, vitamin A, lecithin, vitamin D, appropriateIt’s appropriate to add animal liver to your diet.

Prevention methods:

Puppies should be checked monthly and adult dogs should be dewormed every three months. Appropriate high-efficiency and low-toxic anthelmintic drugs should be selected according to the type of parasites for deworming. Puppies should be dewormed for the first time 20 to 30 days after birth. Mainly for repelling nematodes and surface parasites, there are many drugs available, which are available in various pet hospitals, clinics or pet stores. Adult dogs should generally be dewormed every quarter. Generally, broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs are used, and the commonly used ones, including imported ones and domestic ones, are all OK. When deworming, it should be noted that the dose of the drug must be appropriate and cannot be too large or too small. Too large a dose may easily cause poisoning, while too small a dose cannot achieve the purpose of deworming. In addition, if there are many dogs at home, it is best to take deworming medicine in batches. This will be relatively safer. Taking frequent baths and spending time in the sun are both very good prevention methods.
