Skin problems in dogs and cats are one of the main reasons to visit the vet every year.
Changes in your pet´s skin and coat as well as a change in your pet´s behaviour may indicate that he/she is suffering from an ear or skin problem. If you have doubts about the behaviour of your dog or cat or if you think it may be suffering from a disease, we recommend that you visit your veterinarian.
Some signs of a possible ear or skin disease in your dog or cat
Itching:
If your pet frequently scratches all over its body, licks a lot or bites its skin, he/she could be suffering from a skin problem. The intensity of the itching could be such that sometimes wounds can occur on the skin because of scratching/licking and not from the disease itself.
Flaky and greasy skin:
When excessive dandruff appears or the coat of your dog or cat becomes greasy and dull or even malodorous, it may be a sign of the presence of a keratinisation disorder, usually secondary to other processes. Sometimes it can be accompanied by a Malassezia yeast overgrowth.
Ear infections:
If your dog or cat frequently suffers from otitis , it is likely that the cause is related to a skin allergy, but it can also be something else!
Hair loss:
Some skin problems can cause hair loss or bald patches.
Wounds:
Wounds can develop due to the scratching, but can also be a consequence of skin infections or systemic diseases.
Other symptoms to watch out for:
Scabs or rashes, warmer areas, redness or swelling, dryness or irritation, changes in skin colour…
