Also known as: 皮膚感染
犬膿皮病是一種細菌性皮膚感染,最常由假中間葡萄球菌(Staphylococcus pseudintermedius)引起。通常繼發於過敏、寄生蟲或激素性疾病等破壞皮膚屏障的基礎病因。表現為紅斑、膿皰、結痂、脫毛和瘙癢。耐甲氧西林菌株的增多使部分感染更難治療,增加了對培養指導治療的依賴。
Pyoderma is a very common bacterial skin infection in dogs, usually caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and secondary to another skin problem.
Underlying allergies, parasites, hormonal disease, or moisture allow normally harmless skin bacteria to overgrow and infect the skin. Resistant strains are increasingly common.
Signs include red bumps, pustules, circular crusty lesions, hair loss, scaling, and itching. Deep infections cause swelling, pain, and draining tracts.
Cytology of skin samples shows bacteria and inflammatory cells. Bacterial culture and sensitivity guide treatment, especially when resistance is suspected.
Topical antibacterial shampoos and wipes are first-line, with systemic antibiotics chosen by culture for deeper or widespread cases. Identifying and treating the underlying cause is essential.
Controlling underlying allergies, parasites, and hormonal disease and maintaining skin hygiene prevent recurrence.
