Q:

What Causes Pyoderma in Dogs and Cats?

What causes pyoderma in dogs and cats? Pyoderma is a bacterial skin infection most often caused by Staphylococcus species. In dogs and cats, it usually develops secondary to underlying problems such as allergies, parasites, hormonal imbalances, poor grooming, wounds, or weakened immune systems. Moist skin, hot spots, and skin folds create ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply. Fleas and mites can damage the skin barrier and trigger infection. Diagnosis involves cytology or culture. Treatment commonly includes topical therapy and systemic antibiotics; veterinarians may prescribe options such as cephalexin capsules wholesale when sourcing medications. Addressing the underlying cause is essential long-term.
