Description

A logical work up and effective treatment: What are the most common causes of canine pruritus? History (seasonality, age of onset, breed) and physical exam (what areas are affected, is there evidence of barrier dysfunction) can tell you a lot. Helpful tests that can be performed in the consultation are cytology and skin scrapings. Tests that can be performed at home by the client include flea trials, food trials and grass contact avoidance trials. Response to medication is also helpful to narrow down a diagnosis.This webinar is RACE approved. Program Number: 1405-38676.
