Most of them are abrasions, scratches, bites and burns. Most of them are treated with some external drugs or sutures, which are not very harmful.

The higher risk is scalds. Scalds are divided into two types: shallow scalds and full-process scalds. Acute scalds caused by flames and extremely high temperatures can cause erythema, swelling, blisters or epidermal falls in seconds or minutes. If it is a chronic scald caused by long-term exposure to high-temperature metals or radiant heat, it may not be easily discovered due to the cover of the fur. There are three main causes of fungal dermatosis: Microsporidium canis, Microsporidium gypsum-like, and Moss. The most common reason is Microsporidium Canis. After Microsporidium canis infected the skin, you often see small circles on the skin the size of a dime coin. Non-circular areas with no characteristic hair removal lesions will appear, sticky blood and erythema will appear, and scabs will form due to the scratching of the pet. After the fungal infection, you will find that the pet's back hair is particularly prone to falling off.

Common skin diseases include skin infections caused by the major parasites such as peristaltic mites, mites, fleas and lice. Deemedi and mites are more common.

The clinical lesions of vermicule include hair loss, sticky blood and scabs, which usually appear around the eye orbits, and are mostly around the mouth. The lesions will be faster and will expand to the whole body in about a week. If it is delayed for a long time, a secondary bacterial infection will occur. If it is manifested, there will be pustules or lymph nodes, and symptoms of rising body temperature.
