When harmless malassezia changes to a pathogenic form, it can become problematic and result in symptoms such as: Skin irritation Inflammation Intense itchiness Flaky, crusty or scaly skin Thickened/”elephant” skin. You may especially notice these signs between your four-legged friend’s paw pads and nails, and on the neck, nasal folds, armpits and anal area. Also check around his years. Secondary symptoms can include a sticky discharge, skin redness or sores. Your dog’s coat is often a good indicator of their overall health, and that’s also true in cases of yeast infection; if her coat is greasy or there are signs of hair loss, or foul-smelling skin, she should see a vet.
