Dermatitis Pyoderma Staph skin problems in the English Bulldog
Dermatitis/Pyoderma/Staph skin infection
Dermatitis, Pyoderma, and Staph are common skin bacterial infections in dogs. Staph bacteria is normal flora on the skin of dogs. The infections can range from surface, superficial or deep. They normally begin when something causes the skin to become irritated and inflamed and allows the bacteria to attack the skin:flea bites, allergies{inhaled,contact,or food} or a continuously moist and poorly-ventalated environment in skin folds.
Skin fold pyoderma is normally on a bulldogs face, around a females vulva, or under the screw tail. Some of these infections can be recognized with patch hair loss, crustiness and scaling and a foul or sweet smelling odor to their skin. If the infection is left untreated, involvement of deeper parts of the skin is possible and if left untreated or not healed 100% could escalate in to demodectic mange. It is very important to keep your dogs coat healthy at all times. Usually an oral antibiotic such as Cephlexin, or clavamox is prescribed along with medicated shampoos.
If you have a dog that continues to have crusty spots that look like ringworm but isn't. He probably has a staph infection. Normal protocol would be to start him on the NuVet vitamins if he is not already on them. Most dog foods have "Free radicals" in them which makes your pet have reactions to them. NuVet vitamins help rid your dog of them(click their link below to read on this). Oral antibiotics such as Cephlexin are normally given until their hair is back in. Medicated shampoo such as Malaseb is directed to use twice a week until all the crust are gone. You can follow up with the resiclor (leave on conditioner) as it has a great smell too. Once your dog is healed, should it start to reoccur the Malaseb spray should stop it in its tracks, along with the Medicated shampoo again if needed.
