It is characterised by red, inflamed, and often painful patches of skin that appear wet or oozing. The fur around the affected area also often sticks together due to the oozing sores. Hot spots can develop quickly and secondary infections in the affected area often follow. Quick action is essential to prevent the eczema from spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-4-xl-font-size\">Understanding Wet Eczema<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet eczema is typically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smalldoorvet.com\/learning-center\/what-to-do\/hot-spot-in-dogs\">caused<\/a> by underlying factors such as allergies, flea dermatitis, insect bites, skin irritations, poor grooming habits or anxiety that causes excessive licking. Dogs who love to swim are also at a higher risk of moist dermatitis, especially dogs with long or dense coats.

Keep in mind that hot spots can be very painful, so all treatment should be carried out gently. Trim the hair around the lesion, clean the area thoroughly with an antiseptic, and dry it completely, preferably using a hairdryer on a low heat setting. Prevent your dog from licking or scratching the affected area, as an Elizabethan collar (recovery cone) is often necessary. Avoid swimming or bathing until the lesion has fully healed. If the affected area is large, very red, painful, or shows signs of infection, contact your veterinarian immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that a condition called lick granuloma looks very similar to wet eczema.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Veterinary Examination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever your dog is experiencing skin issues, the first course of action is to consult a veterinarian. This will help determine the cause of the wet eczema and rule out any underlying health issues. The vet will be able to give immediate relief both by cleaning the area and prescribing necessary medication. They may perform tests, such as skin scrapings or allergy tests, to identify what triggers your dog to itch. The vet may also want to rule out fleas or other parasites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Dietary changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet eczema can be triggered by various underlying factors, such as allergies. Allergies to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/food-allergy-and-intolerance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food<\/a> or things in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/environmental-allergy-in-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">environment<\/a> cause itching and in turn, can cause wet eczema if the skin is broken from scratching. Treating the underlying causes is crucial to preventing recurring episodes of wet eczema.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Landskap-40-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken allergy in dogs\" class=\"wp-image-11023 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;width:750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Landskap-40-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Landskap-40-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Landskap-40-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Landskap-40-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Landskap-40.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To treat food allergies, your dog will have to eat allergy-friendly\/hypoallergenic food. Dogs with food allergies often react to the source of protein in their current food, so you want to feed them a new source of protein they have never eaten before.The vet will often recommend an elimination diet to find our what ingredients your dog react to. Nala Health contains novel insect protein from black soldier fly larvae. This is a complete, clean and allergy-friendly protein which is well tolerated by most dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Topical Medications&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your vet may prescribe topical medications, such as medicated shampoos, sprays, or creams, to help alleviate inflammation, soothe the affected area, and prevent infection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Systemic Medications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In severe cases or when underlying allergies are present, oral medications like antibiotics, antihistamines, or corticosteroids may be prescribed to address the condition and provide relief. Allergy vaccines and injections such as cytopoint can also be very helpful for dogs with environmental allergies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Cone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent your dog from exacerbating the condition, you can also try to prevent licking, nibbling and scratching the area by making your dog wear a cone. It is not recommended that you wrap the wet eczema, as it needs air to heal and dry out. Covering it in bandages or clothing may worsen the symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Landskap-42-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"wet eczema dog\" class=\"wp-image-11072 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;width:750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Landskap-42-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Landskap-42-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Landskap-42-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Landskap-42-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Landskap-42.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-4-xl-font-size\">Home Care and Remedies&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside veterinary treatment, there are several home care practices and remedies that can aid in the healing process and prevent future occurrences of wet eczema:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Gentle Cleaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the affected area clean by gently washing it with a mild, pet-friendly antiseptic solution or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/323842\">saline solution<\/a>. You can easily make a salt water rinse by mixing 1 teaspoon of salt in 500 ml of boiled water. Be sure to cool the mixture before cleaning the wounds. Avoid using harsh soaps or human products that may further irritate the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hoykant-29-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"wet eczema dog\" class=\"wp-image-11073 size-full lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hoykant-29-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hoykant-29-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hoykant-29-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hoykant-29-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nalahealth.dog\/za\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hoykant-29.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Dietary Considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A balanced and nutritious diet can help support your dog&#8217;s immune system and promote healthy skin. Nala Health contains probiotics, fibre and butyrate to promote a healthy gut microbiome, which is an important part of your dog\u2019s immune system. In addition to this, the food contains a balanced inclusion of marine DHA omega-3, coconut oil and cold-pressed rapeseed oil for healthy skin and fur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss with your vet whether dietary changes or supplements may benefit your dog&#8217;s condition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Moisturizing and Soothing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying a veterinarian-approved, hypoallergenic moisturizer or soothing ointment can help soothe the affected skin and promote healing. If you have pure aloe vera gel og coconut oil at home, then you can apply this to the affected area. Another remedy  you could try is Calendula cream or ointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-2-xl-font-size\">Giving the affected area air<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your veterinarian can cut the fur around wet eczema with an electric cutter to give the affected area air. This helps to speed up recovery by drying out the sores faster and keeping the area clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-4-xl-font-size\">Preventive Measures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preventing wet eczema in dogs involves addressing the underlying causes and taking proactive measures to minimize the risk of flare-ups.
