How is Yeast Dermatitis Treated?
Treatment for yeast dermatitis may be topical, oral, or a combination of both, and is based on the severity of your dog's condition.
Topical treatment. Treatment with medicated shampoos is a vital part of treating yeast dermatitis. Many dogs with greasy or oily skin will require an initial ‘degreasing’ cleansing with a shampoo containing selenium sulfide or benzoyl peroxide. After the initial bathing is complete, bathing with an anti-fungal shampoo containing chlorhexidine, miconazole, or ketoconazole is performed. It is important the anti-fungal shampoo remain in contact with the skin for at least ten minutes.
Oral treatment. In more severe, chronic, or persistent cases of yeast dermatitis, the use of oral or systemic anti-fungal medications is often required. Many dogs with yeast dermatitis will also have a bacterial skin infection (pyoderma) and will require antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection for typically four to twelve weeks. Oral anti-fungal medications include ketoconazole, terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole. Although these medications are highly effective, they must be given for prolonged periods of time (often several months). Because these drugs have potential side effects, particularly involving the liver, close monitoring with routine blood tests is necessary. If the dog has a relapse of the fungal infection after an initial successful treatment, a higher dose of the antifungal medication will usually be required. Most dogs with advanced or chronic yeast dermatitis are treated with a combination of oral and topical treatment.

How is Yeast Dermatitis Diagnosed?
There are several techniques used to collect samples for diagnosing yeast dermatitis:
🔵 Skin scraping - scraping the skin with a dull blade to collect yeast organisms
🔵 Impression smear - pressing a microscope slide on the skin to collect yeast organisms.
🔵 Cotton swab sample - rubbing a moistened swab on the skin to collect yeast organisms.
🔵 Acetate tape preparations - applying a piece of clear tape to the skin to collect yeast organisms.
🔵 Skin biopsy - obtaining a small piece of skin with a biopsy punch. This is the most invasive diagnostic test, but provides the most complete diagnostic information. This is sent to a veterinary pathologist for examination

Can My Dog Get a Yeast Skin from Another Dog?
Yeast dermatitis is not contagious; your dog did not get this infection from another dog. Opportunistic yeast infections often recur unless the underlying allergy or skin condition is controlled. There are certain breeds thought to be genetically predisposed to developing yeast infections. These breeds include West Highland White Terrier, Basset Hound, Cocker Spaniel, Silky Terrier, Australian Terrier, Maltese Terrier, Chihuahua, Poodle, Shetland Sheepdog, Lhasa Apso, and Dachshund. Some dogs develop a hypersensitivity to yeast, becoming allergic to an organism they are exposed to all the time. Those dogs have an intense, inflammatory reaction but only a few yeast present on their skin. They will often have frequent recurrences of yeast dermatitis, some starting shortly after treatment is discontinued.

How Does a Dog Get a Yeast Skin Infection?
The skin is host to innumerable bacteria and fungi. Under normal circumstances, these organisms do not cause a problem and are kept under control by the immune system. If conditions on the skin change or if the immune system is suppressed, these bacteria and fungi can cause infection. These types of infections are termed opportunistic infections. If the number of yeast organisms on the skin increase, a yeast skin infection results. A common cause of a yeast skin infection is an increase in the amount of oils produced on the skin. This is most frequently associated with allergic skin disease. Some dogs have an immune deficiency making them ineffective at fighting yeast infections resulting in chronic infection. Dogs that receive immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids (steroids) may also be unable to effectively prevent yeast infections, so may develop a chronic yeast infection.

What is Yeast Dermatitis?

Yeast dermatitis or Malassezia dermatitis is caused by the fungus Malassezia pachydermatis. It is an extremely common cause of skin disease in dogs*.* This yeast is normally found on the skin, but its abnormal overgrowth can cause dermatitis, or inflammation of the skin.

What Can Happen If Cat Flu Goes Untreated?
Like human flu, once the virus has damaged the delicate lining of the nose and airways, bacterial infections can enter and cause complications, such as pneumonia. So it's important that you contact a vet if you suspect your cat has flu.

How to Preventing Cat Flu?
Vaccinations protect against some of the viruses that can cause cat flu. However, vaccines don’t cover every single cause of cat flu, so regularly disinfecting their bedding, litter tray and toys, particularly if you have more than one cat, is still recommended.

How to Treating Cat Flu?
Just like human colds, there isn’t a cure for cat flu. Antibiotics can’t treat the viruses that cause it, but they can help if there’s a secondary bacterial infection caused by damage to the lining of the nose and airways; if left untreated this can cause complications, such as pneumonia.
Encourage your cat to drink as much as possible, as fluids can help loosen thick mucus; intravenous fluids may be required if they’re still reluctant to drink. Regularly wipe away any discharge from the eyes or nose with damp cotton wool and keep them warm and comfortable throughout their illness.

What is The Causes of Cat Flu?
Most cat flu cases are caused by feline herpesvirus or feline calicivirus. These viruses are highly contagious and usually spread between cats through direct contact, sneeze droplets, and shared food bowls. Virus particles can survive for up to a week in the environment, so your cat may not need to encounter an infected cat to catch the disease.

What is Cat Flu?
Cat flu (or feline viral infectious respiratory disease) is very common in cats and causes symptoms that are similar to that of the human cold. While some cases can be mild, others can be life-threatening, particularly in kittens, so it’s important for all owners to be aware of the condition.
Kittens and cats with underlying health issues are most at risk of developing severe complications, including lasting eye damage and even total sight loss. In some rare cases, it can be fatal.
