PetsDogs have some skin problems. Most are caused by eczema, mite or fungal infections. Don't worry too much, it is a relatively common skin disease. Germanshepherd dogs suffer from skin diseases for many reasons, not only bacterial infection or bacterial infection. Mosquito bites, some nutritional deficiencies and decreased resistance/immunity can also cause skin diseases. Let's take a closer look at it below.

German Shepherd

For various For skin diseases, we must first clean the skin of the German Shepherd before applying medicine. The irritating and bactericidal external medicines such as iodine and alcohol must not be used, which will damage the dog's skin and make the skin disease worse. The mildest disinfectant that we can find at home that can clean the skin is light salt water, which can be prepared with normal saline or prepared by yourself (usually a spoonful of salt is dissolved in a glass of water). Sometimes we need to cut the German Shepherd's problematic skin and surrounding hair short first, and then rinse it with salt water.

Combined with oral antibiotics:

For some serious skin diseases, topical medication alone is not enough, and oral antibiotics are needed for adjuvant treatment. I usually give German Sheepdogs eat amoxicillin (dosage reference: 12-22mg/kg body weight, 2-3 times a day).

In combination with oral vitamin B:

Your doctor will recommend that you buy a bottle of German Shepherd B-complex as an adjunct therapy.

Measures to prevent German Shepherd from licking and scratching:

After finding a problem with the dog's skin, in addition to applying medicine, prevent it from licking or scratching is also very important. If the area with skin disease is easy to be bandaged, it is best to wrap it up, and it is best to use a breathable gauze. If that place is also easy to wrap, make a fuss on the mouth of the German Shepherd, bring it an Elizabethan ring or put a mask on it, but the mask will affect the German Shepherd's eating and drinking, so it is not suitable to take it for a long time. .

Applying medicine to German Shepherds is also a little knowledgeable. You can't just smear the ointment on the skin. It needs to be applied repeatedly to make the medicine reach the depths of the skin. I usually squeeze a part of the ointment when I need it. Repeat the rubbing in circles on the place where the medicine is applied, while counting silently, usually it will stop after thirty or fifty. Wipe again and count to dozens. In this way, you will find that the red envelope with obvious inflammation on the German Shepherd will soon play a role, and it will not be as big or red as it used to be.

Finally, I have to repeat. Generally, we start to apply medicine to the German Shepherd when we find that there is a problem with the skin of the German Shepherd. Give it a different medicine or go to the doctor and ask.
