Staphylococcal Infections

Staphylococcus bacteria can exist freely in the environment as a parasite on the skin of a host and in the upper respiratory tracts of animals.

Bacteria are easily passed from animal to animal and, in rare situations, from animal to human.

This infection can affect any breed of dog at any age.

Because their immune systems have not fully grown, younger dogs are more likely to contract this infection.

Older dogs are also more vulnerable since their immune systems have worn down.

Other causes can include bacterial or fungal infections of the blood, allergies, and secondary infections.

A complete blood profile, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, and a urinalysis, will be performed by your vet.

Skin testing is frequently done to establish whether allergies or other immune-related reasons cause the condition.

It's also critical to rule out irregular cell formation as a possible cause of the illness.

There are several medications available to treat this medical issue; however certain strains are resistant to them.

In some circumstances, regular antibiotics are ineffective in treating this illness, and an alternative course of treatment is required.
