Yeast Infection and Treatment in Dogs (Pets)

You may think you don't know what a yeast infection in dogs looks like, but if you have an itchy dog, especially the ears and paws, then you may be looking at exactly that.  Yeast!

Yeast is more prevalent in the summertime as it thrives in hot and humid weather and often gets mistaken for allergies.

But make no mistake, yeast causes lots of itching, paw chewing and butt scooting for your dog.

How Yeast Affects Your Dog

Well, yeast is a fungus that likes to grow in moist areas.Yeast on a dog typically affects a dog's skin resulting in an itchy dog.  Malassezia is the most common type found on a dog's skin and is usually found on the paws, ear canals, armpits, jowls, anal area and any skin folds that your pooch may have.  You can find more information on yeast infections in dogs here.

The areas most affected are the ears and paws.  Yeast in dogs ears is very common especially with dogs with floppy ears.  But, it's not restricted to floppy-eared dogs and swimming will make it worse.  Most often the ears will give off a rather unpleasant pungent smell that's hard to ignore. 

Dogs that suffer from yeast infections often have a lowered immune system allowing the fungus to proliferate.  Antibiotic use is also something that often causes the fungus to start growing out of control.  However, some dogs (mine and my Mum's included) just suffer from the itchy symptoms of yeast as soon as the weather gets hot and humid.

Treatment for a Yeast Infection in Dogs

Yeast infections in dogs are best treated with a two-pronged approach:

Treat the local skin area - As yeast is a fungus it must be treated topically with Petveda shampoos, dips and Petveda sprays.

PETVEDA  products are a set of solution based pet grooming products that help maintain your pets’ hygiene and healthy skin and coats. Good grooming is especially important for animals with long hair and those that have trouble keeping themselves clean. It is believed that taking care of this essential need of these animals not only makes them feel comfortable but helps them live a better life .

Treat the digestive tract - Many yeast infections start in the dog's digestive tract which can then leak out and manifest as skin problems. Adding probiotics and supplements to your dog's diet will help to keep the yeast at a manageable level preventing this break-out from occurring.

Dog Skin Problems and solution

The sound of a dog constantly scratching or licking can be as irritating as nails on a chalkboard. But don’t blame your pooch for these bad habits -- a skin condition is probably the culprit. Possible causes range from parasites to allergies to underlying illness. Petveda has compiled images of some of the most common canine skin problems.

Allergic Dermatitis

Dogs can have allergic reactions to grooming products, food, and environmental irritants, such as pollen or insect bites. A dog with allergies may scratch relentlessly, and a peek at the skin often reveals an ugly rash. Corticosteroids can help with itchy rashes, but the most effective treatment is to identify and avoid exposure to the allergens.

Yeast Infection

If your dog can't seem to stop scratching an ear or licking and chewing her toes, ask your veterinarian to check for a yeast infection. Symptoms include irritated, itchy, or discolored skin. The infection usually strikes the paws or ears, where yeast has a cozy space to grow. Yeast infections are easy to diagnose and often respond well to a topical cream. In some cases, your veterinarian may prescribe oral drugs or medicated baths.

Folliculitis

Superficial bacterial folliculitis is an infection that causes sores, bumps, and scabs on the skin. These skin abnormalities are easier to see in shorthaired dogs. In longhaired dogs, the most obvious symptoms may be a dull coat and shedding with scaly skin underneath. Folliculitis often occurs in conjunction with other skin problems, such as mange, allergies, or injury. Treatment may include oral antibiotics and antibacterial ointments or shampoos.
