Description
Canine atopic dermatitis is thought to affect 10-15% of dogs in the UK – a phenomenal number of pets that are afflicted by this chronic inflammatory pruritic skin disease. Whilst it is a year round disease, many animals with this condition are sensitised to environmental allergens such as grasses and pollens, which increase around this time of year. Vets in practice are likely to see an increased prevalence of itchy animals coming through the door as the weather warms. Not only is the patient’s quality of life considerably impacted by this disease, but so is the life of their owners. So, what can we do better as vets? This webinar will run through current theory in the pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis, signalment, commonly applicable diagnostic tools and therapeutics. The webinar will use real-life cases to demonstrate the above components to ensure familiarity with the cases seen in practice on a day-to-day basis and improve clinician confidence in dealing with this disease.
