Description
Adverse reactions can occur to any drug, some are more common than others. This webinar discusses cutaneous reactions to drugs that are commonly used in small animal practice. Some adverse reactions are predictable and are well recognised. The unpredictable adverse reactions can be difficult to recognise because the cutaneous lesions can mimic almost any skin condition. Identifying the drug can be even more difficult. The webinar describes the different pathomechanisms that are associated with the different skin reactions to drugs. The case studies demonstrate how to approach cases so as to identify the most likely drug causing the reaction. There is no universal treatment other than stopping the drug, which may not be possible, even though affected animals may have severe lesions. Each case requires individually tailored treatment. The cases discussed demonstrate how to utilise the treatments to the benefit of each case without causing further deterioration. RACE # 20-1169522
