Canine Atopic Dermatitis - Update to Management in Veterinary Practice

Canine Atopic Dermatitis - Update to Management in Veterinary Practice
Canine Atopic Dermatitis - Update to Management in Veterinary Practice

This lecture will explore the critical differences between reactive and proactive management strategies for canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). Reactive management focuses on addressing symptoms after they appear, often involving treatments like corticosteroids to relieve itching and inflammation. While this approach can provide immediate relief, it may not prevent future flare-ups. Proactive management emphasises prevention and long-term control. This includes identifying and avoiding allergens, implementing regular skin care routines and using immunotherapy to desensitise doges to specific triggers. By adopting a proactive stance, pet owners can significantly improve their dog’s quality of life and reduce the frequency and severity of dermatitis episodes, ensuring their furry companions lead happier, healthier lives.

Recognising lesions in dermatology - the key to accurate diagnosis
Some people say that everything in dermatology looks the same; just hair loss and red or black skin. This is far from the case. If you can separate primary lesions from secondary changes you are well on your way to formulate a good diagnostic and treatment plan for your patients. The diagnosis and treatment of skin disease in animals is protocol based and it's foundation is the presentling primary lesion picture. It is vital for accurate histopathological diagnosis that the pathologist is given an accurate description of the lesions. In addition, when requesting advice from a veterinary dermatologist, the key is to be able to describe in mutually understandable terms what is happening. In this presentation, Dr's Rob Hilton and Judith Nimmo will co-present the common primary and secondary lesions seen in our small animal patients and discuss their clinical and histological appearance and some of the more common diseases associated with the lesions
