Since you have chosen the path of raising a dog, no matter how hard or tired you are, you have to walk on your knees. I believe that the shoveler sometimes feels that raising a dog is very tiring, and he can't even serve his pets, and he also has to serve his pets. There are also many people who have no experience and are relatively negligent in keeping dogs. Due to improper breeding habits, the dogs get sick. Mites are a common type, let’s learn about it together.

Dog mites, also known as dog mange, commonly known as "skinny dog ​​disease", are caused by parasitism of scabies or dog ear itchy mites. They are often found in August, September and winter, and are commonly found in dogs with poor sanitary conditions and ventilated conditions. The lesion is characterized by severe itching in the affected dog, fast nodules, scabs, and hair loss in the lesion site, causing the dog to lose weight, mobility difficulties, and even death. A live insect body can be seen through microscopic examination.

Dendodexasis canine is a skin disease caused by abnormal proliferation caused by the dog's skin, which is parasitic on the hair follicles or sebaceous glands of the dog's skin, and a small number of lymph nodes in the body, causing abnormal proliferation. Deodexasis canine is an obligate parasite. Once the dog suffers from Deodexasis, a very small number of Deodexasis will be parasitic in the dog's body for life after recovery. When the growth conditions are appropriate, it can reproduce in large quantities and cause disease. Therefore, in clinical practice, the deodexasis in dogs is more likely to recur. It shows rash, hair loss, scab, rough skin, and exudation. Systemic palpation of the body surface lymph nodes can be seen with obvious enlargement.

The skin becomes red, turns into blisters, rupture of blisters, and discharge of yellow pus. In severe cases, it can cause dog failure and death. Dog mite diseases often occur in the head, neck and tail. The symptoms of puppies are serious, and they first occur at the bridge of the nose, cheeks, ear roots, and armpits, and then spread throughout the body. At first, the skin turns red and small red nodules appear, and then it turns into blisters. After the blisters break, viscous yellow oily exudates flow out. After the exudates dry, they form fish-scale crusts, which are severely itchy in the affected area. The sick dog often scratches the affected area or other objects with its claws, thus causing severe hair loss. Small pustules may appear after secondary infection. As the condition continues to develop, the lesion site continues to expand and may spread throughout the body.

Due to the stimulation of toxin secretion by mites, severe itching and inflammation of the skin on the affected area. Due to inflammation and itchy skin, the sick dog is irritable and resting, which affects eating and rest, and becomes increasingly thin. In particular, it may cause death from exhaustion.

Three major reasons for prone to mites

1. Healthy dogs with poor body immunity

have immune ability to control the number of perverted mites on the skin, so that they will not reproduce in large quantities, so they will not attack. Puppies with relatively weak immune systems or dogs with low physical resistance due to malnutrition are prone to peristaltic mite skin diseases.

2. Unsanitary environment

Poor sanitation conditions in the living environment will also cause large-scale reproduction of mites. For example, the dog kennel is not clean for a long time, the dog mat is not cleaned for a long time, the floor is wet, and even the dog is not blown dry after taking a bath, all of which create a breeding environment for the mites, causing the dog to get sick.

3. Do not do external deworming in autumn and winter

Many shovelers believe that in autumn and winter, dogs rarely go out, and the outdoor weather is cold, so there will be no parasites such as fleas, so they will not do external deworming for dogs. Little do people know that dogs have a short sun exposure in autumn and winter, and they are in an unventilated room for a long time, and the environment is relatively humid, which just creates a good living environment for mites.

To treat mite diseases, you need to be prepared for a protracted war

To find mite skin diseases, you should be treated as soon as possible. Don't delay the sooner the diagnosis and treatment, the better the effect. If the dog is treated at the beginning of the disease, the dog can suffer less and the owner will spend much less energy. If the mites are already very powerful, you must be prepared for long-term treatment.

medicinal bath, mite removal, and antibacterial, none of them are missing.

medicinal bath can not only treat skin diseases, but also play a role in preventing skin diseases. Therefore, taking a medicinal bath is essential. Spraying the affected area with mite removal and antibacterial drugs every day can speed up skin recovery. Of course, external deworming must be done, otherwise the disease will be repeated.

Pay attention to the daily hygiene of dogs

Keep the kennel clean, do not let the dogs come into contact with the sick people, and try to take the dogs to the unclean grasslands as much as possible, especially during the high incidence of infectious diseases in spring, and do a good job in disinfection and hygiene. According to doctors at pet hospitals, mites are actually found in every dog, but mites breed in large quantities and break out under appropriate conditions, causing the dog to get sick. Although there is no evidence that dogs’ mite disease can be transmitted to people, you should still pay attention to prevent infection and wash your hands in time after contacting the sick dog.

Enhance immunity and appropriate nutrition supplementation

Demodex infection is related to the incomplete immune function of the body, so strengthening the physique is the basis for promoting disease recovery. Dogs should be given special care during their illness. Never let their dogs be hungry. They can increase the number of feedings and nutritional supplements appropriately.
