Managing Tricky Cases in Feline Dermatology

This webinar will present to the participants various cutaneous reaction patterns commonly seen in cats. The work up in the affected cats involves ruling out ectoparasites first. Cutaneous bacterial or yeast infections are quite rare so the next step involve ruling out CAFR before diagnosing feline atopic dermatitis which we consider likely similar to the one in dogs with genetic and environmental factor playing the major role. Feline atopic dermatitis is nowadays also called “non-flea, non-food hypersensitivity dermatitis (NFNFHD). The hunting nature or the outside lifestyle of many cats make a food trial difficult to carry out. Furthermore many cats are less keen to have their diet changed. The management of NFNFHD involves controlling ectoparasites and the use of anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory drugs, allergen avoidance if feasible and allergen-specific immunotherapy. an uncommon case of alopecia will also be presented.
