Causes of pustules on dogs

1. This disease is mainly secondary to various local injuries of dogs, such as puncture wounds, bite wounds, cellulitis and various traumas, and various infections. Abscess forms after pyogenic bacteria.
2. It can be seen in some irritating drugs, such as 10% calcium chloride, 10% sodium chloride, etc., which accidentally leak under the skin during injection and form sterile subcutaneous abscesses.

Symptoms of pustules in dogs

It is not difficult to diagnose based on clinical symptoms. If necessary, puncture can be performed. If pus is aspirated, the diagnosis can be confirmed.
1. It can occur in any tissue or organ in various parts of the dog, and its clinical manifestations are basically similar.
2. In the early stage, there is local swelling, increased temperature, pain when touched, and a little hardness. Over time, it gradually increases in size and becomes softer, with a fluctuating feeling.
3. When the abscess matures, the skin becomes thinner. The hair fell off locally and there was a small amount of exudate. Soon the abscess burst and yellow-white viscous pus flowed out.
4. When an abscess forms, some may cause systemic symptoms such as an increase in body temperature; after the abscess ruptures, the body temperature quickly returns to normal.
5. If the treatment is not timely or appropriate, it can sometimes form a flaccid tube that does not heal for a long time. In some cases, it may even cause sepsis and death.
6. Abscesses that occur in deep muscles, intermuscles and internal organs are not obvious due to their deep location. However, there is often edema in the surface tissue, local tenderness, and obvious systemic symptoms accompanied by dysfunction of the corresponding organs.

Prevention and treatment measures for pustules on dogs

1. For initial hard and solid swelling, you can apply compound lead acetate powder, Ichthyostatin ointment, etc., or use 0.5% procaine hydrochloride 20- 30 ml, penicillin potassium (sodium) 400,000 to 800,000 units for sealing around the lesion to promote the resolution of inflammation.
2. When the abscess fluctuates. Pus should be incised and drained in time, the abscess cavity should be flushed, gauze drainage should be installed or open therapy should be used, and antibiotics and other systemic therapies should be used if necessary.
