When your pets become obese or overweight, they have limited movements when they groom themselves. They wouldn’t be able to reach their backs, hind legs, and tails. An unkempt and dirty behind will result in painful skin rashes. If not treated immediately, it will develop into open sores which will make your pet more susceptible to fatal infections. Medical intervention can be difficult if there are multiple complications. The location of the medical issue also makes treatment challenging.
These anal skin rashes also occur in long-haired dogs or cats that are experiencing diarrhea and who have dirty behinds as feces become stuck to the hairs in the anal area. This will emit a foul odor that will catch most pet owners’ attention. By this time, an infection might have settled in already.
Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your nearest pet clinic Scottsdale, AZ.
