Pet Skin Diseases (Part 1): Parasitic and Fungal Infections
Skin disease is common in dogs and cats and tends to flare up and recur, usually because their skin defenses are weak and their surroundings are full of triggers. The two hardest types to clear are external-parasite infestations (fleas, lice, mites, ticks) and fungal infections (ringworm); both cause intense itching, hair loss, and skin damage and need treatment of both pet and environment. Since they are contagious and slow to resolve, early veterinary care and consistent parasite control are the keys to recovery.
