Pet dogs will always have some skin problems. Most are caused by eczema, mites or fungal infections. Don’t worry too much, it is a relatively common skin disease. There are many reasons why German Shepherds suffer from skin diseases. Not only bacterial infection or mosquito bites, but also some nutritional deficiencies and reduced resistance/immunity can also cause skin diseases. Let’s take a closer look below.

German Shepherd

For various skin diseases, we must clean the German Shepherd's skin before applying medicine. Strongly irritating antiseptic external medicines such as iodine and alcohol must not be used, as they will damage the dog's skin and make the skin disease worse. sharp. The easiest thing we can find at home to sterilize and clean the skin is light salt water. You can use physiological saline or make it yourself (usually a spoonful of salt is dissolved in a cup of water). Sometimes we need to cut the German Shepherd’s problematic skin and surrounding hair short first, and then rinse it with salt water.

With oral antibiotics:

Some serious skin diseases cannot be treated with external medication alone, and oral antibiotics are also required for auxiliary treatment. I usually give amoxicillin to German Shepherds (reference dosage: 12-22mg/kg body weight, 2-3 times a day).

With oral vitamin B:

Doctors will recommend that you buy a bottle of German Shepherd vitamin B complex as auxiliary treatment.

Measures to prevent German Shepherd dogs from licking and scratching:

After discovering that your dog has a skin problem, in addition to applying medicine, it is also important to prevent it from licking or scratching. If the area with skin disease is easy to bandage, it is best to wrap it with breathable gauze. If that area is easy to wrap, just put an Elizabethan ring on the German Shepherd's mouth or put a mask on it. However, the mask will affect the German Shepherd's eating and drinking, so it should not be worn for a long time. .

Applying ointment to German Shepherd dogs is also a little tricky. You can’t just apply the ointment to the skin and it’s done. You have to apply it repeatedly to make the effect of the ointment reach deep into the skin. I usually squeeze a part of the ointment and rub it in circles on the area where the ointment needs to be applied. Apply it repeatedly while counting silently, usually counting to thirty or fifty before stopping. If the red envelope on the dog's body is larger or the itching is more severe, squeeze some more ointment and apply it again, counting to dozens. number. In this way, you will find that the red envelope with obvious inflammation in the German Shepherd Dog will soon work, and it will not be as big or as red as before.

Finally, I have to repeat it. Generally, when we find that a German Shepherd has a skin problem, we start applying medicine to him. If there is no obvious improvement after using the medicine a few times, you need to consider the price of the German Shepherd.Please give it a different medicine or go to the doctor to ask.
