Dog skin petrification refers to the symptoms of hardening, stiffness and loss of elasticity of the dog's skin. This condition is often caused by long-term skin inflammation, parasitic infections, malnutrition, immune system diseases and other factors. One of the most common causes is skin inflammation, particularly due to fungal infections. When the skin becomes infected, your dog's immune system releases chemicals that cause skin cells to proliferate, causing the skin to become hard and stiff.
Malnutrition is also one of the causes of petrified skin in dogs. Lack of vitamins and minerals can lead to a lack of nutrients in skin cells, causing symptoms of petrified skin. In addition, dogs' immune system diseases such as autoimmune diseases, tumors, etc. may also cause symptoms of skin petrification. Therefore, timely detection and treatment of skin problems, maintaining balanced nutrition and strong immunity of dogs are important measures to prevent petrification of dog skin.
