Dermatomycosis or superficial mycosis is a fungal disease in which fungi infect the epidermis and its accessory structures (hair, horns, claws). There are many types of pathogenic fungi, but Microsporium canis is the main cause of Husky dermatophytosis. Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucae, and Microsporum gypseum were also sometimes isolated. Skin fungi are extremely resistant to external factors, especially dryness.
Can survive for several months in sunlight or at 0C, clinging to dander on kennel utensils, stakes, etc. Fungi, even after 5 years, retain their infectivity. However, the fungi in the bedding and soil can be eliminated by other biological factors, and only the younger Microsporum gypsum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes can reproduce in the soil. The spread of canine dermatomycosis is mainly through contact between animals, or through contaminated objects. It can also be transmitted through the air in cases where the number of dogs is large and dense. External parasites, such as lice, fleas, flies, mites, etc., are also important in the transmission of L. In addition, the large and small mice play a certain role in the transmission of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and the soil plays a certain role in the transmission of Microsporidiosis gypsum.
General prevention and treatment methods are as follows:
First, keep the dog's skin clean and hygienic, and often check the coat for ringworm spots and scales .
Second, strengthen the management of dogs and avoid contact with sick dogs.
Third, the sick dogs should be isolated and treated in time. Griseofulvin 25-50 mg/kg body weight, taken orally in 2-3 times for 3-5 weeks, has a good curative effect on this disease. At the same time of systemic therapy, the affected part is clipped and coated with nystatin or paraformaldehyde nystatin sodium ointment, which can make the dog recover within 2 to 4 weeks.
Fourth, at the same time of treatment, special attention should be paid to the disinfection of kennel equipment and dog tie posts. 2% ~ 3% sodium hydroxide solution, 5% ~ 10% bleaching powder solution, 1% peracetic acid, 0.5% chlorhexidine solution, etc., all have good fungicidal effects and can be used. Deep True Diseases Deep mycosis is an infection caused by fungi that attack the skin, mucous membranes and internal organs. There are many types of pathogenic bacteria. These pathogenic bacteria widely exist in soil, animal feces, and milk. Dogs are mainly infected by contact with contaminated soil or through the respiratory tract and digestive tract. Only a few fungi are contagious. Deep mycosis can occur in various organs of the body and is characterized by granulomatous inflammation, necrosis, abscesses, ulcers, fistulas, hyperplasia of connective tissue and formation of nodules. Widespread addition of antibiotics to feed may be an important cause of deep fungal disease in dogs.
In addition, you can also give dogs some nutritional supplements for hair and skin care, such as MAG seaweed powder, rich in vitamin B and vitamin E, which can tighten the skin and help prevent skin Disease, inhibit the occurrence of dandruff, and can promote the recovery of skin problems.
