Question 1: Dandruff is a big worry

[Cause of the disease]

The epidermal cells age and fall off. Due to unhygienic living environment or unhealthy skin care, Schnauzer dog dander cannot fall off normally, causing excessive dander. In addition, parasitic infections and allergic dermatitis are also causes of increased dandruff.

【Symptoms】

If you peel off the coat of a Schnauzer, you will find a lot of white dander in the coat. In severe cases, the skin of the Schnauzer will have a peculiar smell.

[Solution]

Change recipe:

We try to choose a special dog food to solve skin problems, or choose a formula dog food rich in vitamins and amino acids as the Schnauzer's daily staple food. However, the improvement process is quite long and Schnauzer parents need to be patient.

Practical home remedies:

Dander in some Schnauzers is due to a decline in skin metabolism. Adding an appropriate amount of pet-specific fish oil or edible olive oil to the food every day can help dogs strengthen their skin metabolism. If you stick to it every day, the effect will be obvious.

Scientific bathing:

Choosing the right bath liquid can also quickly change the dandruff problem of Schnauzers, but do not choose human bath liquid.

【Editor’s Speech】

Many Schnauzer parents have encountered this problem. Some Schnauzers will take the initiative to improve after a period of time, but some Schnauzers have always had dandruff problems. Now, the problem of dandruff has attracted the attention of many parents.

Question 2: Don’t have a red beard

[Cause of disease]

If a Schnauzer suffers from posthitis, there is a high chance that his beard will turn red. Primary inflammation in Schnauzer dogs is caused by bacterial infection, while secondary primary inflammation is caused by trauma, foreign bodies, and lymphoid tissue proliferation.

【Symptoms】

Light green pus is discharged from the genitals or mucosal bleeding occurs. Schnauzers often lick the external genitalia or rub their buttocks.

[Solution]

When grooming, preserve the coat around the Schnauzer's genitals so that the coat can act as a barrier to external bacteria. Or go to the pet hospital to buy antibiotic ointment and apply it to the Schnauzer dog's genitals. If it is a stubborn case, you can use 20% copper sulfate solution to rinse the foreskin mucosa.

【Editor’s Speech】

The discoloration of Schnauzer beards is sometimes caused not only by drinking water, but parents should not take it lightly!

Question 3: Goodbye smelly ears

[Cause of disease]

The environment inside the ears is too humid, leading to the growth of bacteria, or contact with individuals with ear miteslater became infected.

【Symptoms】

Schnauzers will scratch their ears from time to time and often shake their heads. Their ears smell bad and their ear canals are red and swollen.

[Solution]

Plug out the Schnauzer dog's ear hair and clean its external auditory canal with a cotton swab. Choose ear mite treatment medicine for pets, drop it into the ear canal, and gently rub the ear to allow the medicine to fully reach the inside of the ear canal. If you insist on it every day, the medicine will kill the mites, and the Schnauzer will shake out the remaining medicine by shaking its ears.

【Editor’s Speech】

A Schnauzer's ear hair is too thick, especially if it has not been clipped. Therefore, Schnauzers are most likely to have a "sealed" ear environment, a stinky ear canal problem caused by ear mites!

Question 4: Prevention of urinary stones

[Causes]

Schnauzer dogs drink too little water and do not take enough walks every day, which leads to increased urine concentration and the formation of stones.

【Symptoms】

The frequency of urination in Schnauzer dogs is significantly reduced, it is difficult to urinate, and the urine is dark in color.

[Solution]

Choose appropriate dog food. The sodium in dog food can prevent the formation of stones and can also slightly acidify the urine, allowing the Schnauzer's urinary system to reach its best condition. In addition, Schnauzers can be encouraged to drink more water to reduce the concentration of urine.

【Editor’s Speech】

Research has shown that Schnauzers are seven times more likely to suffer from urinary stones than other dog breeds, so dog parents must pay attention to this enemy of health.

Question 5: Change of cherry eye

[Cause of disease]

Schnauzers have red and swollen eyelids, commonly known as cherry eyes. Schnauzer dogs' eyes are irritated by surrounding hair or foreign objects, excessive secretion of glands, congenital nictitating membrane cartilage defects and tissue defects, or are caused by stunted development, high temperatures, diet and genetics.

【Symptoms】

Schnauzer dogs have significantly increased eye secretions. Schnauzers often scratch their eyes with their front paws. Therefore, mechanical corneal damage or ocular inflammation is more likely to occur.

[Solution]

When eyelid redness and swelling first occur, you can go to a pet hospital to buy eye drops to treat eyelid inflammation and instill them three times a day.

If the eyelid hyperplasia is serious, it is safer to go to a pet hospital for surgical removal. Surgery for this disease is relatively simple, so Schnauzer parents don’t need to worry.

【Editor’s Speech】

Generally speaking, Schnauzers will have eyelid redness and swelling in one eye, but if care is not taken, the other eye will soon become infected.

If you want your Schnauzer to maintain a cute and charming image, dog parents must pay attention to the above five major health issues and take preventive measures for your Schnauzer!
