Folliculitis is a common skin disease in dogs. It usually manifests as symptoms such as itching, redness, hair loss and excessive sebum secretion. If your dog has folliculitis, you need to take prompt measures to treat it. This article will introduce three effective drugs to help you solve this problem.
The first drug: Oral cefalexin tablets
Ceflexin tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic drug that can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and reproduction, thereby reducing the symptoms of folliculitis. Generally speaking, the dose of oral cephalexin tablets is 10-20 mg per kilogram of body weight once daily. When using this medication, you need to follow your pet doctor’s advice and prescription to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The second drug: Injection of Kangweining
Kangweining is a long-acting anti-inflammatory drug that can effectively relieve the symptoms of folliculitis. The injection cycle of this drug is once every 14 days, which can maintain the effect of the drug for a long time. Before using Kangweining, you need to consult your pet doctor’s advice and take the injection according to the correct dosage and method.
The third drug: Use antibacterial shampoo
In addition to oral medication and injections, you can also use antibacterial shampoo to give your dog a medicine bath. This shampoo can effectively kill bacteria on the skin surface and relieve symptoms such as itching and redness. When using antibacterial shampoo, you need to follow the product instructions and be careful not to let your dog lick the shampoo.
Generally speaking, effective drugs for folliculitis in dogs include oral cefalexin tablets, injection of Kangweining and the use of antibacterial shampoo. When using these medications, you need to follow the veterinary advice and prescriptions to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Prevention is better than treatment. Regular bathing of dogs and using antibacterial shampoos can effectively prevent the occurrence of folliculitis. In addition, rational control of dogs’ diet is also an important measure to prevent skin diseases.
