Treatment methods for Tibetan Mastiff skin diseases:

1. Clean the problem skin with light salt water: The skin needs to be cleaned before applying medicine to the Tibetan Mastiff, but iodine and alcohol are irritating Strong antiseptic external medicines must not be used, as they will damage the dog's skin and make the skin disease more serious.

2. For papulopyoderma caused by bacterial infection, multi-faceted antibacterial therapy is the main treatment.

3. Infestations caused by fleas and lice can be washed with trichlorfon, or chlorpyrifos drops can be applied on the back of the dog.

4. Oral antibiotics: Tibetan mastiffs have serious skin diseases, which cannot be treated with external medications alone. Oral antibiotics are also required for auxiliary treatment.

5. Vitamins help recovery: Tibetan mastiffs can be given multivitamins or vitamin B2 tablets. Because vitamins are good for skin growth, doctors will recommend buying a bottle of multivitamins as auxiliary treatment for many Tibetan Mastiffs with skin problems.

How to prevent skin diseases in dogs:

1. For dogs that already have skin diseases, it is best to consider their physical condition and the severity of the disease. To prepare dog food suitable for it, only when the body's immunity is improved can the dog's disease heal faster, and dogs who do not suffer from skin diseases can also avoid being troubled by the disease.

2. Spring is the season when dogs change their hair. Frequent combing can prevent the shed hair from remaining on the body. The hair after each combing is more ventilated and dry, reducing bacterial growth.

3. Fungal skin diseases are also the most common skin diseases in dogs. In the daily environment, kennels, food bowls and other things used by dogs must be disinfected and sterilized in time.
