Black flies often eat dogs during nature walks.
Signs that your dog has been bitten by a black fly
Black fly bites cause redness and bruising, most often in the lower part of the animal's body.
Symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs can include stiffness, limping, and joint swelling.
The animal may also develop a target-like rash.
Veterinarians recommend that your dog be vaccinated against Lyme disease and other infectious diseases.
Treatment of tastes
Typically, most black fly bites heal within a few days and do not require intervention.
Nevertheless, sometimes it is important to help the wound healing process.
You can keep your pet's skin clean and apply a cold compress to relieve swelling and itching.
In addition, sometimes a dog may urgently need antihistamines.
Therefore, if you experience symptoms of illness or skin reactions, contact your veterinarian immediately.
If your dog is licking bites and preventing them from healing, your veterinarian may recommend a protective collar.
