• Accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and loss of appetite
• No signs of improvement after 72 hours
5. Preventive measures
1.Regular inspection: Observe the condition of your skin when combing your hair every day
2.Scientific wearing: The collar should be tight enough to insert two fingers into
3.Seasonal protection: Monthly insect repellent in summer, pay attention to anti-static in winter
4.Material selection: Preferred silicone/soft leather texture to avoid metal buckles from directly contacting the skin
According to the recommendations of pet doctors, about 85% of neck skin problems can be cured within 1 week with correct care. If you find that your dog scratches frequently or behaves abnormally, it is recommended to use a high-definition camera to record the changes in symptoms to provide reference for veterinary diagnosis. In daily maintenance, keeping the environment clean and eating a balanced diet are equally important.
