Skin conditions are one of the most common reasons that dogs end up at the vet's office. Six conditions ocur more than anything else, and it's good to be aware of them in your pup.
Six Common Skin Conditions - Skin Allergies - Dogs with skin allergies will experience red, itchy, and irritated skin. Many different environmental factors, like pollen or mildew, trigger it. Some food groups may trigger an allergic reaction on the skin as well. It can impact feet, armpits, chest, ears, or stomach. There is no treatment for this, but you can limit exposure to the allergen and provide medication for relief.
- Fleas and Ticks - External parasites can cause excessive scratching and licking. If not treated, these tiny insects can cause other serious problems. To avoid these conditions, keep your home clean and closely monitor your dog after they spend time outside. There are also shampoos and special combs to help treat dogs that have been infected.
- Folliculitis - This condition occurs when the hair follicles become inflamed due to bacteria on the surface of the dog's skin. It can cause sores, lumps, or scabs. There are topical medications and oral medications to help treat the dog.
- Ringworm - This common infection is caused by fungi. It starts in one area of the body, usually the head, paws, ears, or front legs. The infection appears as red, circular patches. Small terriers are more susceptible to ringworm than other brands. Dogs need to be quarantined because this condition is highly contagious. Medication will help clear it up.
- Mange - Mites cause this skin condition, and it commonly happens with stray dogs. It causes intense itching, inflammation, and hair loss. Medication can help clear this up.
- Pyoderma (Impetigo) - These are small, raised, red blisters that are caused by bacterial infections or other serious diseases like Cushing's disease or cancer. Some breeds, like bulldogs, boxers, Shar-Peis, and Staffordshire bull terriers, are more susceptible to this condition. Treatment of underlying diseases and medications for this condition will help clear it up.
