Dog skin health

 

When we refer to dog skin health it really opens a bag of worms (excuse the pun). Skin problems are quite extensive among dogs. External parasites live in the skin and breed off of the dog’s immune system. These parasites live of the dog’s blood and nest in the warm fur of the dog. These are just a few of the parasites that you will find in most dogs. Flea’s ticks mites and lice are of the most common.

These little fellows can make life very uncomfortable for your best friend because it causes the dog to itch and this in turn will make the skin sore and inflamed. In extreme cases can cause a loss of blood and cause the dog to become incapacitated. This condition may vary to the age of the dog, to how strong his immune system may be.

Fleas are the most irritating they are so small and almost impossible to spot with the human eye. They jump all over the dog living on the dog’s blood. Its does not end there fleas almost always carry the tapeworm which causes constipation. The most frightening part about fleas is their ability to breed at a very rapid rate. A full grown flea can lay around 80 to 90 eggs per day and each egg with go on to produce a further 100 or so eggs. They are brown but you would only be able to confirm this under a microscope.

If your dog as fleas it will be very obvious he will start scratch. Flea’s favourite place on a dog’s body is behind the ears and in the end of the tail. The flea is capable of biting but strangely enough it’s the saliva that creates the problems. Fleas often cause what we call hot spots on a dog this is easy to recognize the skin will be flaking bleeding.  

Once you discover your dog has fleas you will need to act fast. Fleas spend little time on a dog they will move through your home laying eggs all over the places at a rapid pace they also live on human blood as well as dog’s blood. The weather won’t save you they lay eggs in the garden even in the cold weather but thankfully the cold weather puts them into hibernation. When the warm weather comes around these eggs will hatch and produce yet more fleas. 

If your dog has fleas you have a major job on your hands don’t think for one moment that you can get rid of them by buying flea powder from the chemist you will need to take a trip to the vets. The reason being every dog is different and respond in different ways. 

To prevent fleas is without doubt the best option. The old saying prevention is better than cure is very true in this case.
