What should you do if your dachshund suffers from skin diseases? If your dachshund suffers from skin diseases, small-area infections can be eliminated with some pet sprays or ointments, such as Pitfen, Dog Mite Killer or Golden Shield Anti-inflammatory and Mite Remover Ointment. But if it is a large-scale infection, it is best to shave it. The easiest way is to go to the veterinarian to give the Dachshund an injection. So do you know the reasons why Dachshunds suffer from skin diseases? Today the editor will explain it to you one by one!

1. Causes and treatments of skin diseases in Dachshunds:

1. Allergy

On the basis of excluding other causes, a preliminary diagnosis can be made based on solid rashes and itching all over the body, and drug treatment can help with the diagnosis.

Antihistamine drugs, corticosteroids, adrenal glands and chemical anti-allergic drugs (chlorpheniramine, sodium methenate, etc.) are particularly effective. If the dog is prevented from coming into contact with suspected pathogenic environmental factors, the dog's itching will be significantly improved. Fatty acids are beneficial. You can take some Guden trace element tablets to supplement various trace elements and vitamins.

2. Food factors

Clinical experience shows that the lack of essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in dogs is accompanied by varying degrees of itching. Although the dog feed is nutritionally complete, some dogs with itching whose cause cannot be found are given vitamins and lipids.

3. Environmental factors

Hot and humid, damp and cold, too dry, and changeable climate can directly or indirectly affect the dog's body and cause itching. For example, dogs that are exposed to stoves in winter often suffer from dry coat, excessive dandruff, and itching. Limiting their exposure to stoves will significantly improve their condition.

For dogs raised on concrete floors, their elbows often touch the ground. Almost every dog ​​can see hair loss in this area, thickening of the skin, darkening of color, calluses and frequent itching.

Clinically, it has also been seen that the scratching of fleas can cause itching in dogs. Fleas crawling on the skin cause itching, but the main reason is the skin allergic reaction caused by the bites of fleas. This inflammation is more common on the back, under the tail, etc. of dogs. Hair loss, exudative dermatitis and pigmentation occur due to self-mutilation. Calmly wait. Bedding materials such as straw mats and sawdust can directly irritate the dog's skin, and can also cause itching due to the effects of pollutants, bacteria, and parasites they carry. Eliminating these pathogenic environmental factors will significantly improve your dog's itching.

4. General disease pruritus

Many medical diseases, such as jaundice, tumors, diabetes and uremia, are often accompanied by skin itching. Mast cell tumors and lymphocytomas are easily detected clinically due to skin plaques and itching. Internal parasites transferred to the skin can also cause itching in dogs.

If it is difficult to diagnose the cause of dog itching at the moment, you can try the following treatments:

(1) Corticosteroids and antihistamine drugs can be used alone or in combination to effectively control itching.

(2) Frequent brushing, training and walking of the dog's coat can help distract the dog's attention from itching.

(3) Appropriately supplement vitamins and fatty acids to dogs. You can give your dog Guden seaweed powder to supplement the nutrients it needs.

Therefore, if your dog suffers from skin diseases, you must take measures to treat it as soon as possible to give your dog a clean and healthy body.
