Piel y pelo
Inflammation and infection of the skin within folds, where moisture and heat build up. Typical of breeds with lots of skin folds.
Build-up of moisture, heat and bacteria/fungi within the folds. Predisposed breeds: Bulldog, Pug, Shar Pei, Pekingese, Cocker Spaniel (lip folds).
Visual examination of the folds. Cytology to identify bacteria or yeasts.
Clean and thoroughly dry the folds daily, along with topical antimicrobial treatment. In severe or recurrent cases, surgery to reduce the folds.
Clean and dry the folds regularly, and keep weight under control (obesity creates more folds).
See the vet if the folds are red, moist or smell bad. It is easy to manage if caught early.
