Summer is the peak season for pet skin diseases. If your baby is simply showing hair loss, it may be a natural phenomenon. However, if the skin is itchy, red and swollen, or hair loss until it falls bald, it is likely to be a skin disease.
First of all, how do you know if the dog is itchy?
1. Tick with claws.
2. Lick or bite the skin with your mouth.
3. Use everything (furniture, walls, floors) to rub it.
4. Flicking your head wildly (ittingling ears).
5. Parents who are aware of it may only find out when their baby is bald.
Reason 1: Skin allergies
Allergies are excessive immune system reactions, and allergies are one of the biggest factors that cause baby's skin itching. Classification of
Allergies
Environmental allergies: Because allergies in the environment (including indoor and outdoor) vary in each season, environmental allergies are seasonal. It is more serious in spring and summer. In addition to itchy and swollen skin, the baby may also sneeze, runny nose, and cry.
Flea allergies: Fleas often appear in hot weather, so they can also be said to be seasonal. However, the heating room in winter is definitely a good place for fleas to grow. Fleas, like us, love furry little guys the most. If you are allergic to flea saliva, one or two fleas will cause severe itching and hair loss.
Food allergies: Some ingredients in food may also cause allergies to the baby. Allergies to food can cause skin diseases or gastrointestinal discomfort, or both. Note that food also includes snacks, and some babies only start to have symptoms two years after using the same food. Statistics show that the ingredients that are prone to allergies include beef, dairy products, chicken, eggs, wheat, corn, soy products, and fish (cat). The specific allergies depend on the individual.
Contact allergies: Allergies caused by contact are not very common, but more likely to be contacted with substances that damage the skin. The allergies may be plants, drugs or household chemicals.
Reason 2: Mites infect
Epi-parasites are reminiscent of chicken skin, and they can also cause pets to feel a lot of discomfort. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job of external deworming.
Flea: The most common ectoparasite, which not only causes skin allergies, but also causes tapeworms and continue to suck blood, which may cause anemia in the long run.
Ticks: Generally, it will not cause serious itching. Of course, if there are many ticks, it will cause discomfort. What is more serious about ticks is a disease that is likely to be contagious, and serious diseases may affect red blood cells, platelets and even kidney function.
Scabia mite: It is said to be the itchiest and itchiest skin disease, and it is very contagious, and people may be infected.
Folliculobacter: It is usually transmitted to the puppy two days before birth. The puppy will have skin symptoms when the immunity decreases. It is generally not transmitted to other dogs, and cats are not common.
Reason 3: Fungal infection
is what everyone calls "moss". Also known as monsoon, the typical symptom is a circle of hair loss. Cat monsoon may be transmitted to people. Another type is malassezia, which may also become malassezia when its immunity decreases.
Reason 4: Bacterial infection
Bacterial infection is caused by bacterial invasion after the skin's own protective barrier is damaged. The causes of skin damage include: trauma, dirty and humid environment, allergies, chemical irritation, or skin secretion problems. While treating bacterial infection, you must find the underlying cause.
Reason 5: Endocrine problems
If the baby has symmetric hair loss, or has long-term skin and ear problems, it is best to check the blood and check the endocrine problems. Dogs have thyroid deficiency, diabetes and Kuxing's disease, and cats have hyperthyroidism.
Reason 6: Autoimmunity problem
Autoimmunity problem. If the body treats skin cells as foreign bodies, it will send white blood cells to eliminate certain skin cells. In this case, the skin will ulcerate and peel off, which is very painful.
