We often see some stray dogs on the street. Most stray dogs are sick and their owners cannot keep them normally. It is too expensive to go to the pet hospital for treatment, so they just throw the dogs out without asking. Some stray dogs have very severe fur loss, like leprosy. We often call them leprous dogs. Leprous dogs are dogs with skin diseases. However, dog skin diseases do not only include this part. Of course, not only do skin diseases occur, It’s a stray dog, but domestic dogs can get it too!

Skin disease is one of the most common diseases that dogs suffer from, and the incidence rate is quite high. This is because dogs exercise frequently, which causes the dog’s skin to rub frequently, and the dog is often engaged in guarding movements, which can cause skin diseases. There will be a lot of bacteria in the dog's hair. Those bacteria are hidden under the dog's hair and are difficult to remove, so it is easy to suffer from skin diseases.

Skin disease symptoms:

1. The skin is broken, and you can feel lumps under the skin with your hands.

2. Redness, swelling, inflammation, abnormal body hair loss, and dandruff-like shedding.

3. Sometimes the dog will appear itchy and unbearable, often shaking its head, scratching and biting the body, making it difficult to settle down throughout the day, or licking the affected area frequently. If your dog has parasites, it will not only cause hair loss, but sometimes even cause allergies, inflammation or anemia.

The formation and causes of skin diseases: trauma, parasites, eczema, scabies, urticaria, etc.

Prevention and treatment of skin diseases:

Parents should usually pay attention to the hygiene of their dogs, bathe their dogs regularly, and pay attention to deworming their dogs in summer to prevent various parasites on their dogs. After taking a bath, make sure your dog’s fur is dried as much as possible with a hair dryer. Groom your dog frequently to ensure that its fur is smooth, which can resist viruses to a certain extent. If there is obvious inflammation, you can apply human anti-inflammatory ointment and go to the pet hospital in time. If there are fleas on your dog, you can try flea killers and flea killer water sold on the market, but you should check with a familiar veterinarian first. Moreover, dealing with fleas is also a long-term task, even if the fleas on your dog have been eliminated. However, if there are still fleas in the environment around it, fleas will continue to infest it. Therefore, while dealing with fleas on your dog, you should also keep the home environment clean to ensure that there are no fleas. In addition, if its fur is dark, rough, covered with dandruff and appears to be falling off in patches, you should consult a veterinarian for early treatment.
