Understanding Bacterial Infections in Dogs

Yeast, specifically *Malassezia pachydermatis*, is a type of fungus that naturally lives on the skin of dogs without causing harm. However, certain conditions can lead to an overgrowth of this fungus, resulting in a yeast infection. Factors contributing to yeast infections include allergies, excessive moisture, a weakened immune system, and underlying health problems like diabetes or autoimmune diseases.

6. Surgery If a foreign object is causing drooling, surgical intervention may be needed to remove it. Similarly, if dental problems are severe, tooth extraction or other dental procedures may be necessary.

For parasitic infections, dewormers can be administered to eliminate the parasites contributing to the diarrhea. Rangers or mineral supplements may also be recommended to replenish nutrients lost due to excessive fecal output.

Key nutrients often missing from a vegan dog’s diet include protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and certain amino acids. For instance, while dogs can get protein from plant sources, the amino acid profiles vary significantly compared to meat. Multivitamins can ensure that pets receive a complete amino acid profile necessary for muscle development and overall health. Ingredients like pea protein, brown rice protein, and nutritional yeast are common in vegan supplements, providing high-quality protein that dogs need.

3. Vaccination Regular vaccinations can help protect against certain diseases that may cause diarrhea. Consult a veterinarian for a recommended vaccination schedule.
