SKIN FOLD DERMATITIS
Lots of extra skin that is wrinkled is the result of a short
nose and the skin that covers the snout has not been proportionally reduced. So
then skin fold dermatitis can occurs when the wrinkles rub together or hair rubs
within the folds causing irritation. Added irritation is when the skin secretions
and no air is able to circulate between the folds. Unfortunately discomfort and skin infections
often occur in these dogs. Daily care is needed to keep folds clean!!!! GENETIC this problem could be bred out of brachycephalic syndrome breeds by breeding snouts a little longer your dog would also breath easier.
