What should I do if my Border Collie has a fungal skin disease?

Skin disease is one of the common diseases of Border Collies. In the process of raising a Border Collie, it is inevitable that its skin will be infected by fungus. When its skin is infected by fungus, it will show symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, itching and hair loss. So what are the ways to treat fungal skin disease in Border Collies? One: First, we need to cut the hair in and around the affected area of the Border Collie to facilitate the application of medication to it afterwards, and also to allow the medication to penetrate more into the affected area. Generally, antifungal ointments (ketamine, clotrimazole, ringworm, etc.) are applied. Second: Secondly, it can be given internally with ashwagandha tablets and tongkangzol tablets. But be sure to take them under the advice of your veterinarian, because Border Collies are sensitive to drugs and are generally not well suited to internal medication. If the skin disease is not particularly serious, it is recommended that no internal medication be used. Third: Finally, during the treatment and medication period, give your Border Collie more fatty foods, and do not give it alkaline foods, let alone milk. Generally after using the medication, the Border Collie will get better in about a week or so, and if you take the medication, you will probably be able to heal in a week. Finally, I would like to advise all pet owners that the cure is never better than the prevention of disease. To prevent the Border Collie from getting skin diseases, you must clean its living area regularly and keep it clean and sanitary. Keep his body clean and hygienic by giving him regular baths. At the same time, ensure that he has a balanced diet, which will greatly improve his resistance. Regular sunlight can also reduce the probability of fungal skin diseases.
