which allergodermatitis is most common
Atopic Dermatitis
what is Atopic Dermatitis characterised by
itchy
red
swollen & cracked skin
diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis
exclusion
how common is Adverse food reaction
20% of cases
cause of Adverse food reaction
one or more proteins in food provokes allergies
type 1, 2, 4
Clinical signs of Adverse food reaction
gi signs
Dog - pruritus, seborrhea, urticaria
Cat - generalised pruritus, miliary dermatitis - like lesions, facial dermatitis, eosinophil plaque / granuloma
Diagnosis of Adverse food reaction
elimination trial
only give one protein at a time to figure out the cause of allergy
IgE testing
Treatment of Adverse food reaction
allergen avoidance
hypoallergenic diet
associated clinical signs of pruritus
alopecia
dermatitis
inflammation
hyperpigmentation
hot spot
redness
crusts
dandruff
Causes of pruritus
allergy
ectoparasite
infection
neoplasia
immune mediated
syringomyelia
diagnosis of pruritus
history - intensity, progression, diet, environment
physical exam - lesions, localisation, symmetry
skin scraping
blood test - sacoptes
elimination of contact dermatitis
elimination diet
allegy tests
skin biopsy
differential of pruritus
self mutilation
excessive licking
foreign body
treatment of pruritus
apoquel (oclacitinib)
cytopoint (lokivetmab)
cyclosporin
side effects of apoquel
skin nodule
side effect of cyclosporin
can be emetic
contrainficated in neoplasia and in cats with toxoplasma
