Three Common Feline Skin Diseases

Feline skin diseases are some of the most common health problems that can affect your cat. The condition of your cat’s skin and coat of hair is an important indicator of your cat’s overall health, so it’s important to be aware of it. Let’s take a look at a few common feline skin diseases.

Acne

One of the most common feline skin diseases is acne. The most noticeable symptom of this condition is the formation of blackheads on your cat’s chin. Although an exact cause is known, dermatitis, food allergies, and poor grooming can play a role. The veterinarian may not choose to treat feline acne is the case is mild enough.

If treatment of the acne is necessary, it usually comes in three forms. Your may have to bath your cat in a special shampoo that helps get rid of excess oil on your cat’s skin. You may also have the option of using an antibiotic twice a day to get rid of the condition. If your cat is experiencing excessive inflammation, the veterinarian may choose to use corticosteroids.

Ringworm

Ringworm is also one of the most common feline skin diseases. This skin fungus frequently affects young, old, and long-haired cats although any cat can be affected. Symptoms include crusting, redness on the skin, and scaling. Some cats react to the fungus by over-grooming themselves which can cause hair loss. Treatment methods of ringworm include oral medication, shampoo, or clipping the cat’s coat. You may also need to get rid of the fungus in the surrounding environment.

Cheyletiella Dermatitis

One of the last common feline skin diseases is Cheyletiella Dermatitis. This condition is caused by parasitic mites that can also be transmitted to humans. Your cat will likely experience various symptoms such as redness of the skin, small swelling spots, and dandruff. You may also notice large numbers of the white mites moving around on the surface of your cat’s skin. Treatment for Cheyletiella Dermatitis includes dips in pyrethrin, lime sulfur, or selenium sulphide based shampoos. You will also need to get rid of the mites in the environment through spraying and vacuuming.

These are some of the most common feline skin diseases that can affect your cat. You should always pay attention to your cat’s hair and skin as they can indicate how healthy your cat is.

Connecticut channel WTNH-8 (ABC) report on the debate that is raging over the diagnosis and treatment of chronic Lyme disease. This report was aired in the wake of two new studies, one published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) denying the existence of chronic Lyme and claiming that longterm antibiotics are unwarranted, and the other published in the Journal Neurology yielding evidence that chronic Lyme is real and that extended courses of antibiotics are helpful. It should be noted that the study published in NEJM was nothing more than a retrospective review of previously published research which appears to be limited to just those studies that reinforced the authors’ long held ideology that chronic Lyme does not exist. A number of the NEJM authors are currently under investigation by CT Attorney General Richard Blumenthal for possible anti-competitive practices in the development of Lyme disease treatment guidelines published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).

Question by redairforce: Hiding things under the skin?
You know how the secret agent in a movie is always hiding he microfilm under their skin. How is that possible. I have been searching online and if you put into google, under the skin, it just gives you results of things like lime disease. I mean, doesn’t the body attack things non-biological. If I were to make an incision in my abdomen and hide a microchip, why wouldn’t it get all infected and require a trip to the emergency room?

Hello

I have had all 3 of my cats microchipped at the vets with no problem at all. So I think you can place something under the skin without it causing an infection. Maybe it is a sterile procedure.

Question by Markk: Green skin disease or something alike?
Is there a disease that turns your skin green or something lime that? It doesn’t have to be a disease. Oh and I’m researching something.

Best answer:

Answer by Amanda H
Putting colloidal silver on your skin will make it turn blue, and not like blue paint, I mean your skin color actually becomes bluish gray from teh inside. So, maybe something with copper in it would make green skin, since copper turns green when it oxidizes.

Canine Skin Diseases – a Look at Four Common Dog Skin Problems

Canine skin diseases are among some of the most common health problems.  Diagnosing them accurately can sometimes prove to be difficult as many other diseases imitate their symptoms.  Some of the most common dog skin problems include hot spots, Cheyletiella, mange, and ringworm.  This article will take a look at some of these skin conditions.

Hot Spots

Hot spots are areas of skin that have become inflamed.  These areas are usually infected also, and the infection can only be superficial in the skin or deep.  Symptoms include oozing, redness, and hair loss in the area.  Hot spots are usually caused by fleas, mites, injury, or insect bites.  Treatment options include topical medications, special shampoos, or oral antibiotics.  You should also clean the area daily and apply a cool compress at least twice a day.

Cheyletiella

One of the next common canine skin diseases is Cheyletiella.  Cheyletiella are mites that infest your dog and cause skin problems.  Although there are three common species of these mites, the one that usually affects dogs is Cheyletiella yasguri.  These mites can also transfer from your dog onto you.  This usually results in an itchy rash.

If these mites infest your dog, you will notice redness, swelling spots, crusts, and itching.  The most noticeable symptom is the so-called “walking dandruff”.  If the infestation is advanced enough, you can notice the white mites walking along your dog’s skin.  Cheyletiella is treated using shampoos containing pyrethrin, lime sulfur, or selenium sulphide.  You should also treat the environment so your dog doesn’t get reinfected.  Use a vacuum throughout your home and a flea control spray.

Mange

Sarcoptic mange is one of the next dog skin problems.  This disease is characterized by an infestation of Sarcoptes mites.  These mites cause severe itching.  This causes your dog to scratch himself badly enough to cause sores to develop.  Diagnosis of this disease can be difficult as the mites can prove difficult to find.  The veterinarian will have to take a skin scraping and examine it under a microscope.  Once successfully diagnosed, special shampoos can be used to treat the condition.

Ringworm

Ringworm may be something you’re already familiar with as it can infect humans.  Ringworm can be caused by an infection from several species of fungus.  An infection causes symptoms such as crusts, scale, and hair loss.  Your dog may also experience mild itching.  This fungal infection can be treated using oral medications or shampoo with lime sulfur.
