Pet Skin Infection Symptoms and Treatments



A dog skin infection can either be bacterial or yeast related but both are easily treated. Yeast infections are very common in warmer weather so are often misdiagnosed as allergies.  If your dog is bothered by itchy ears and paws, and is scooting across your floors, then you're likely dealing with yeast.  See here for more on how to treat yeast infections in dogs.

Here's how I can help.  Take a few minutes to review the symptoms chart to get a clearer idea of what type of skin infection your dog may be suffering from.

Then, read on, as I've included some great treatment plans for both further down the page.








You may be wondering how on earth your best pal contracted a skin infection, but it's not that uncommon for them.  Especially if they fall into one of the most common categories below:

Shar-pei dogs prone to bacterial skin infection.
   

The most common causes for a dog skin infection are:

    Dogs that already suffer from allergies
    Dogs that scratch or lick at their skin a lot (usually because of allergies)
    Dogs that have floppy ears (especially the heavy, pendulum-type ears)
    Breeds that have lots of skin folds, such as a Shar-Pei, or a Bulldog

Skin infections in dogs are not solely restricted to these causes though, any dog can get one, so learning about the different types, causes, symptoms, and treatment, is always good to know.

If your fur-baby is suffering with ear infections, she really will be suffering, it's painful.  That's why ear infections should always be checked by your veterinarian, she can give quick relief. 

You can find more information  on Petveda.com.



Bathe your dog with a good quality Petveda shampoo and that contains an Ayurveda agent. Baths should be given twice a week for the first 2 weeks, then scale down to once a week for a month and finally just once a month.

Weekly baths with an Petveda shampoo. A gentle rinse will also help, especially in stopping the skin from drying out.

Your vet may prescribe Medicated Shampoo, if your dogs' ears are affected.

Benefits:

Helps protect against and resolve skin allergies Helps against ticks and fleas Is gentle on the coat, to maintain shine and helps it appear bright Gentle on the skin and goes deep inside to help provide proper solution Skin Detoxifier Provides long lasting relief –


Any allergy, dry skin or ticks and fleas can lead to itching and irritation, making your pet truly uncomfortable. PETVEDA Medicated Shampoo uses a special blend of Neem & Citronella oil and a medicated concentrate to provide a solution that helps restore skin’s natural balance while cleaning the coat. –

An important note here, even If your dog's skin infection seems to ONLY affect your her ears, you will still have to bathe with an Petveda shampoo. Otherwise, the problem usually comes right back as soon as the ear drops stop.

Keep your eye on a bacterial infection as occasionally it can become deep rooted.  In this case you'll likely see Petveda, hair loss, and even abscesses, which can all become extremely painful for your dog and a trip to your vets will be necessary.
