Anal Skin Rash Risks in Obese Cats and Dogs

Is your beloved pet obese or overweight? Pets that are obese have a hard time reaching many hard-to-reach areas of their body such as their spine and the rectum area. If the rectum area does not get groomed or cleaned regularly, it can develop skin rashes which can get really painful later on for your beloved pet. If you ignore this problem, the skin rash can worsen and develop open sores which invite more trouble, such as a bacterial infection. The more you ignore and delay, the worse and more costly it would be to treat. The location, that is, the anal area,  makes it hard to treat and this adds salt to the injury, so to speak. Anal skin rash can also occur when a long-haired pet experiences diarrhea. Diarrhea can lead to a lot of poop spreading to the hair coat near the dirty rectal area. A visit to your animal clinic Marietta, GA can help address the problem. Learn more here.
