Understanding Your Dog's Itchy Skin: Symptoms and Treatment
Is your dog suffering from extreme itchiness followed by redness,scaly skin, hair loss, brownish waxy discharge in ears and a distinct musty or sour smell especially during a shower? Hyperpigmentation (darken skin) will also occur in heavily infected areas.
This condition is caused by a yeast called malassezia. It is a common yeast found on human and animal skin. When the immune system is compromised, malassezia will grow out of control causing dandruff and extreme itchiness.
