CAUSES:
There are many factors that cause dermatitis in dogs, mainly due to ectoparasites living in hair, skin or dog ears, such as fleas, ticks, lice, ear mites caused by Octodectes cynotis, skin diseases caused by Demodex canis, mange caused by Sarcoptes. They suck blood thus causing anemia, allergy and damaged skin, may lead to deuteropathic inflammation and pyoderma.
TRANSMISSION:
- Ectoparasite infected dams rapidly transmit to their puppies during nursing period.
- From infected host to susceptible host.
- From outdoor environment such as playing or sleeping areas.
CLINICAL SIGNS:
- There are high risks for newborn puppies to get infected by Demodex canis a few day after birth,via direct contact with their mother. According to Lê Thị Thu Sương 2013, 26.94% dogs were infected with Demodex canis. Demodex is likely to reside on head and 4 limbs. Obvious sign is hair loss around eyes which looks like wearing-glass. In early infection, dermatitis starts locally and long later systemically with pus in case of no treatment taken.
