The course of the disease occurs with the formation on the skin of the dog of itchy, discomfort-bearing bones and papules. In addition, there may be foci of alopecia, including without obvious signs of inflammation.

Usually, the body reacts with the appearance of rashes to apply antiparasitic drugs. At first glance, harmless, urticaria can lead to edema Quincke and death if the dog is not given timely help.

• Neurodermatitis is a chronic disease that occurs for a number of reasons. Usually the main role in the development of neurodermatitis is played by heredity, the conditions of the dog's living, the violation of the endocrine or nervous systems. At the initial stages, the animal experiences severe itching, which subsequently leads to calculi and, as a result, to reddening of the skin and nodular eruptions with characteristic luster.
• Eczema - inflammation of the surface layer of animal skin. There are several forms of the disease: acute, subacute, chronic eczema, each of which at the same time can be dry or wet. The main symptoms of the disease are itching, calculus, fever and kidney damage, which are accompanied by the loss of a dog. In the acute form, the neck or areas under the ears, as well as the areas near the base of the tail and the external surface of the hips, are usually affected. The chronic form is localized most often on the back. The most difficult case for treatment is neuropathic eczema, accompanied by a vegetative disorder and a lesion of the nervous system. The most susceptible to eczema are older dogs.

Stop-itch for dogs: customer and veterinarian feedback

Experienced veterinarians and breeders recommend "Stop-itching" as an effective remedy for dealing with allergic rashes on the skin of dogs. Affordable price and powerful therapeutic effect allows the drug to date to be one of the most commonly purchased to combat the itching of various etiologies in pets.

Buyers note the rapid onset of the therapeutic effect: already on the first day of admission, there is a noticeable improvement in the condition. With a strong itch (including the formation of wounds and scratching), "Stop-itch" completely copes in a half or two weeks of admission.

However, there are less cheerful reviews about the product. So, many buyers note that immediately after stopping the reception of a suspension or spray, the therapeutic effect is lost. This allows us to judge that "Stop-itch" is better to use in combination with other drugs, only as an auxiliary.

So, I want to repeat it again: pay attention to your pets. Even the most innocuous at first glance symptoms can signal the development of a serious disease in the dog. This especially applies to animals walking on the street on their own: stray dogs, in contact with which your four-legged friend may be, are often the carriers of dangerous diseases.
