Fungal skin disease is actually what people call "ringtinea". Parents often have no idea about this kind of symptoms and don’t know what to do. They can only watch their dog suffer, and don’t be too anxious. First of all, we should analyze the causes. Fungal skin diseases in dogs are caused by skin mold invasion of dogs' skin, hair and toe-claw keratin tissue, etc., that is, this is formed by a variety of factors. This disease is a zoonotic infectious disease, which occurs everywhere in the world!
1. The causes of fungal skin diseases in dogs
Above, we have analyzed a series of systematic causes of fungal skin diseases in dogs. So what are the specific reasons for this disease in dogs? I believe this is also a problem that some parents can't wait to be sure. So today I will introduce to you what are the specific causes of fungal skin diseases in dogs!
1. The emergence of fungal skin diseases in dogs has a certain relationship with climate, age and physical fitness. For example, when the weather is hot and humid, the incidence rate will naturally be very high, and dogs in childhood are more likely to be infected than adult dogs, because at that time their immunity is extremely weak and their resistance is very poor. Compared with dogs with good physical fitness and strong physical fitness, dogs with poor nutrition or weak physical fitness are more likely to be infected with this disease. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to puppies!
2. If you take large doses of hormones for a long time in clinical practice, it will not only lead to a decrease in dog resistance, but also easily cause dogs to become infected with this disease!
3. According to statistics from the data, it has been found that five types of molds are prone to cause skin mold diseases to dogs, namely: Microspora canis, Microspora gypsum-like, Trichophyton, Microspora Oduan and Microspora deformed. Among them, Microspora canis is the most common, followed by Microspora gypsum-like, and Trichophytonus and Microspora Auduane. The scope of Microspora is very small, only in a few countries, and the incidence rate is very low.
2. Preventive measures for fungal skin diseases in dogs
Dogs have this disease in large part because they have not taken precautionary measures. If these measures are taken, can your dog escape the disaster? Next, I want to introduce to you how to prevent problems before they happen, how to take preventive measures to prevent more dogs from being difficult, and parents don’t have to worry about this day and night! There are no special prevention and control measures for fungal skin diseases, mainly to do basic epidemic prevention and management of daily life!
1. Personal hygiene
Parents must keep a good clean and hygienic skin of their dogs and frequently check whether there are ringworm spots or scales on their skin.
2. Diet
must strengthen nutrition and manage the daily life of the dog. The dog's diet should contain enough protein, and supplement various vitamins, minerals and some trace elements, so as to enhance the dog's resistance. At the same time, the dog's shack and surrounding environment should be disinfected regularly, especially in spring and autumn and humid seasons. If conditions permit, the owner can bathe the dog with medicinal soap or pet-specific medicine solution. Be careful not to scratch the dog's skin when washing!
3. Public Health
Fungal skin disease in dogs is a zoonotic infectious disease. Therefore, public health must be paid attention to to prevent it from being transmitted from humans to dogs or dogs to people. All fungal skin diseases in dogs may be transmitted to people, especially children who are prone to infection, which can cause tinea capitis or other ringworm diseases. Therefore, owners must pay attention to this point! In order to prevent humans and dogs from suffering from this disease!
3. Treatment of fungal skin diseases in dogs
1. Treatment of affected areas
First, parents should clean the fungus and cut off their hair, so that the medicine can penetrate the skin better, while also avoiding the spread of fungi. Then apply the medicine and the scope of the medicine can be appropriately expanded, which can better inhibit the fungus that may have spread to other places!
2. Bath in the sun
Many parents know that the ultraviolet rays in the sun can effectively kill mold, but do not let the dog expose it to the sun. If you are not careful, it will cause heatstroke or sunburn on the dog! You can also receive sunlight on the balcony for a period of time every day!
3. Take a regular bath
Dogs infected with fungi should use special towels, bath lotions, or sulfur soap for a long time. Since fungi are contagious, it is necessary to do a good job of disinfection and anti-virus!
