Dermatology for animals

Allergies form an important group of etiologic factors, especially in small animals

The skin’s response to insult is generically called dermatitis and manifests as any combination of pruritus, scaling, erythema, thickening or lichenification of the skin, hyperpigmentation, oily seborrhea, odor, and hair loss

A good dermatologic examination requires very close inspection of the entire hair coat and skin under strong lighting; flashlights may be necessary to examine the skin of large animals

It is important to examine the ventrum of the animal, where many primary lesions and cutaneous parasites are found

Dermatology for Animals was established in Brisbane in 1998 to provide specialised patient care in dermatology in any species
