What causes lip fold dermatitis
Dr. Soundarya T C
Some breeds are more prone for Lip fold pyoderma ..Breeds which have lot of skin folds, saggy skin..（pugs, American Bulldogs etc）..All dogs have bacteria that live naturally on their skin..They only become problematic when they multiply uncontrollably or if they can pass through the skin”s defence barrier.. Skin folds not only create the perfect environment for bacteria and fungal growth..they also create friction between skin surfaces and this can cause inflam mation （ dermatitis）.
Dr. Soundarya T C
and it could cause microbial overgrowth of closely opposed skin surface.. Other causes could be due to excessive salivation which sits in the lip folds around the lips, encouraging bacteria to grow..Or an underlying skin issue that cause inflammation of skin such as mites or allergic skin disease..

Clip the hair around the lips, kerp your dogs lip folds clean and dry...Gently wipe the lip folds and be sure to brush your pets teeth.. Provide clean food and water bowls daily.. You can apply soothing balms such as Wrinkle balm or Skin Soother which has natural ingredients （ avacado oil, Vit E, Coconut oil..）and anti inflammatory properties..

My 3 month old English cocker spaniel doesnt eat his regular pedigree dry food.
He used to be very excited whenever I open the pack and all of a sudden he started displaying signs of disinterest. He will just sniff it and leave it. However,
when I add little water to it, he eats it ( he loves water a lot ) . Otherwise he eats that same food after few hours.
He is healthy , active and playful and no signs of distress or anything.
I have below questions can someone let me know what to do please
1: Should I change food to some other brand or go for wet diet?
2: How much water is so much for a dog of 3 months age ?
3: Can I add any toppers for his dry food to make it different for him ?
Right now am concerned about his food timings as he is not eating them on time3 likes•4 comments•378 views
