Red irritated skin
Itching and scratching
The appearance of darkly pigmented skin
Flaky or scaly skin
Sores on the skin
Musty odor
Change in skin texture
Hair loss, bald patches
The first symptoms your dog will likely develop include a musty odor accompanied by redness and swelling of the infected area.
But these symptoms can quickly progress to the skin becoming and painful.
The appearance of darkly pigmented skin can be a sign of yeast dermatitis in dogs.
Itching and scratching are also common symptoms of yeast infections in dogs, often accompanied by red irritated skin.
Flaky or scaly skin and sores on the skin are other possible signs of yeast dermatitis.
