Why Does a Dog Keep Rubbing Its Nose on the Ground
A dog rubbing its nose on the ground may have a cold (nasal discharge blocks breathing), a foreign object in the nose (pollen, dust, grass seed — causes sneezing), nasal skin disease (mites, bacteria, fungus, eczema — itchy, with hair loss), or simply be investigating an interesting scent on the floor. Treat the cause: cold medicine, remove the object, medicate the skin, or just redirect its attention.
My dog suddenly developed a large crusted clump on its head that falls off when picked but takes fur with it-what is it?
Crusted clumps with hair loss on a dog's head are usually skin disease; get a confirmed diagnosis at a vet if possible. At home, use pet antifungal spray/ointment; if no improvement, get a skin scraping. Use a collar to prevent spread, and boost nutrition and deworming.
Today I found red dots on my dog’s belly and near its privates, and a red patch in the groin—could it be eczema or another skin disease, and what medicine should I apply?
Red dots on a dog's belly are often superficial pyoderma or eczema from bacterial infection, usually from a damp environment or lying on wet bedding/floor. Clean the belly with saline, disinfect with diluted peroxide or iodine, then apply an antibacterial ointment such as a pet spray with zinc oxide, twice daily; oral antibiotics or weekly medicated baths help. Use a collar to stop licking and disinfect the environment to keep it dry.
My dog’s skin is red; can a vet tell me what caused this?
From the photo the red skin is likely a fungal infection with white scales, rash, and scabs causing patchy hair loss and itch. A skin scraping confirms; use antifungals per vet.
My dog’s mouth corners are ulcerated and bleeding; what is wrong and what medicine?
Red, ulcerated, crusted mouth corners may be skin infection, trauma, or oral inflammation. Disinfect with iodine, consider allergy or oral disease; see a vet for antibiotics or mouth spray.
My dog’s leg is injured and the skin is broken
Broken skin, hair loss, and scabs from a superficial wound need iodine disinfection and antibiotic ointment plus a collar. If from skin disease, get a scrape test first.
My dog’s black mouth is losing color and looks red
A black mouth losing color to red likely means hair loss exposing red lip skin from infection: fungal, mite, bacterial, or allergy. If a vet visit is hard, try pet anti-inflammatory and allergy oral medicine plus mouth spray and low-allergen food; see a vet if it spreads.
My dog has some scars on its skin, what caused this?
From the picture, hair loss, crusting, and red rashes are usually skin disease: fungal or bacterial infection, parasites, allergic dermatitis, or eczema. Get a skin exam and treat accordingly; keep the coat dry and use a collar if needed.
My dog has a few scabs self-inflicted scratches or skin disease?
Based on the signs, hair loss, scabs, and redness are usually from skin disease, often triggered by itching and over-scratching from bacteria, fungus, allergy, or eczema. A skin exam at the clinic is best; if unavailable, use pet skin sprays and an antihistamine with a collar.
