What are the treatments for skin diseases in dogs?

First of all, before taking treatment, we should confirm the specific infected parts on dogs’ skin. If your family keeps more than one dog, it is recommended that the infected dogs should be isolated from others in a timely manner and the family should stat away form the infected dogs, especially the elderly and children.

Secondly, we should have their hair cut, help them have a bath, and remove scabs, which is helpful to apply the remedy, to promote better absorption and achieve the curative effect quickly.

Next, what we should do is to analyze and treat according to specific skin condition. We generally classify the types of skin diseases into four categories as follows:

1. Mild skin diseases
2. Inflammatory skin diseases
3. Extensive skin diseases
4. Parasitic skin diseases

Mild skin disease: The general symptoms include mild, such asmild dandruff, hair loss in a limited area, small erythema, scab etc.The "Seven-Day Antibacterial Treatment" method can be adopted: Remove the dog's hair, rub off the dander at the end of hair, and then spray the Puainta's Pipot Skin Sprays to the affected part of the dog's skin, 3-5 times a day, for one week. After that, moulting disappears, and new fluff grows. It’s recommended to continue to use the sprays for another week to prevent recurrence. (If you operate by yourself, it is recommended to wear disposable gloves to prevent infection.)In addition, if the dog feels itchy and lick the infected part, it is recommended to wear a plastic collar.

Inflammatory skin diseases: If the treatment for dogs is delayed, the disease will continuously destroy the skin and lead to further keratinization of the dermis layer of the skin.There is much alopecia areata in the lesion, and extensive moulting, blackening area, erythema and scab in the skin. Some dogs may scratch and bite frequently as they feel itchy, which will cause bleeding on the infected part. It can be seen that the infected part of the skin may be red, swollen and eroded, forming thick skin and causing inflammation. At this stage of treatment, Pipot Skin Sprays and ointment for skin diseases should be applied on the infected part for the recovery, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-infection purposes.

Allergic pruritus: For dogs suffering from skin diseases due to drugs, fleas, lice etc., their skin will suddenly appear local redness, pruritus, hair loss, dermatitis, eczema, erythema, pustules etc. Pet owners can apply on the affected part with Puainta's Pipot Pipot Skin Sprays and ointment for skin diseases. Chalorphenamine Maleate When the damaged skin is in the recovery, Chlorphenamine Maleate Tablets can be used together for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and itching relief and wound healing purposes.

Parasitic skin diseases: When a dog suffers from mites, it will become more and more serious with the frequent scratching by the dog, which may also lead to bleeding, pus, blisters, etc. When the dog scratches the blister, there will be a lot of secretion flowing out of the blister. As a result, the dog presents local sparse hair or completely hair loss, increased and blackened dandruff, flushed skin, pruritus and other symptoms. At this stage, Pipot Skin Sprays and ointment for skin diseases can be applied on the damaged skin for treatment. When the damaged skin is in recovery, Avermectin Pour-on Solution can be used to help the dog completely kill parasites in and out of the body and avoid being bothered by biting and itching caused by parasites.

Extensive skin diseases:As skin diseases can cause itching in the affected part of dogs. The virus spreads through the whole body, resulting in multiple infected parts or extensive infection, which will make dogs constantly rub, scratch or bite the infected parts, resulting in a lot of hair loss. The hair in the infected part may fall off even if you pull that gently, and will appear in different parts as scratching, accompanied by many symptoms such as dander loss and tinea spots getting dark. The pet owner can shave the affected part of the dog to treat scabs, then soak the whole body with Banov Shower Gel, wash and blow dry. And finally, use the Pipot Skin Sprays and Skin Disease Ointment, 3-5 times a day for a week. While recovering the damaged skin, Chalorphenamine Maleate Tablets can be used together for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and itching relief and wound healing purposes.
