I believe that many dogs have suffered from various skin diseases, and parents must also have a headache. I believe that fungi and snails are the two most troublesome, but can you distinguish whether it is a mite infection or a fungal infection?

Similarities:

Fungi are very similar to mites: hair loss and itching.

Differences:

1. The affected area of ​​fungal skin disease is generally oval or round, with a clear boundary with healthy skin. The affected area with mites has no regular shape, and the boundary with healthy skin is not very clear.

2. The surface of the affected area of ​​the fungus is generally covered with loose and dry light gray skin, which is easy to peel off. After peeling, the skin is smooth. After a long time, a large area of ​​ringworm is formed. The skin does not thicken. The skin of the affected area of ​​mites thickens, forming wrinkles. .

3. Small abscesses are formed after secondary bacterial infection under the skin of fungal skin. After removing the skin, the damaged skin will be honeycomb-like with many oozing holes. After the skin of mites forms small nodules, it will turn into blisters, which will appear yellow after breaking. The oily viscous substance exudes and dries to form fish scales. After the skin is removed, the skin is bright red, moist and bleeding.

4. Fungal itching is not strong, but snail-affected areas produce severe itching.

Dog skin diseases are really a headache for all owners. In order to avoid getting sick, we must first take precautions. It is necessary to carefully wipe your dog's body every time you come back from going out. In addition, using pet-specific bath soap can also effectively prevent skin diseases.

Other precautions:

1. Do not go to tall grass or play with dogs infected with mites;

2. Appropriate supplementation of vitamin B can greatly improve skin resistance. There are Meikangbao B vitamin tablets specially designed for GG.

3. Never eat foods such as seafood and cheese, which can trigger mites.

4. Keep the kennel mat clean and dry. (It is best to disinfect regularly)

5. Always bask in the sun and exercise more.
