Humid weather in Vietnam increases the risk of skin fungus and dermatitis in both dogs and cats. Early treatment helps prevent wider lesions and repeat infection.
Signs of skin fungus or dermatitis
Watch for persistent scratching, red patches, dandruff, oily skin, bad odor, hair loss, and darkening skin around folds or paws.
Daily care routine for faster recovery
Keep bedding dry, clean the living area daily, dry your pet completely after bathing, and avoid using random human products on pet skin.
When to test and treat at a clinic
If symptoms last more than 5-7 days or spread quickly, your vet may recommend skin scraping, fungal culture, or anti-parasite treatment based on diagnosis.
Treating only with shampoo often fails if the root cause is parasites, allergy, or hormonal disease.
