  • Acral Lick Granuloma
    Acral Lick Granuloma Also Known As: Acral lick dermatitis, acral lick furunculosis, lick granuloma Transmission or Cause: The causes of acral lick granulomas include infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or mites; allergies, cancer, joint disease, or previous trauma; or an obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by boredom in some dogs. Dogs are provoked by these conditions to lick an area until they cause hair loss and erosion of the superficial skin layers. The consequence is further inflammation, which then results in more licking. With time, excessive licking can cause secondary infections, thickening of the skin, and changes in skin-color. Affected Animals: Acral lick granulomas may affect dogs of any breed and gender, however, males and dogs that are five years and older are more often affected. Breeds predisposed to this condition include Great Dane, Doberman Pinscher, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and Irish Setter. Overview: A commonly seen skin disorder of dogs, acral lick granulomas are skin wounds that are worsened by a dog's constant licking of the affected area. Because the repeated licking hinders healing of the lesion, dogs must be prevented from licking the area until the wound has healed completely. Acral lick granulomas have a wide variety of possible causes. The disease is often bothersome to pets as well as their owners. A veterinarian can implement appropriate medical therapies to treat the lick granuloma and to prevent recurrence. Clinical Signs: Lick granulomas are skin wounds typically located on the lower portion of the front or hind leg of a dog. Some dogs may have more than one area affected at a time.

  • Dermatology Appointment Compliance 10 Common Characteristics Ofhighly Successful Practices Keith a Hnilica DVM, MS, DACVD
    Better Dermatology Appointment Compliance 10 Common Characteristics ofHighly Successful Practices Keith A Hnilica DVM, MS, DACVD Who am I to decide: I am a veterinary dermatologist currently enrolled in an MBA program. During the last year, I have had the wonderful opportunity to visit dozens of great practices (through the Novartis LEAD and Pfizer’s Partners for Success programs). During these visits, I was able to learn many lessons from successful practices. In addition, I have listened to many practice managers, sales reps, and business people much smarter than myself. What I have learned is that there are common behaviors that are found in most of the truly great clinics: THIS is THAT list. Immutable Lessons from the Road: 1. All staff members are motivated to solve specific client problems with practice specific protocols formulated to implement the “Best in Class” treatment options. 2. The mission statement includes a commitment to the highest quality of practice (not the cheapest). 3. Staff rounds are conducted to educate everyone in the clinic on the most common diseases and the practice’s protocols treatment. 4. All staff provides consistent client education and treatment recommendations: the same message from the front to the back of the practice. 5. The doctors are removed from all treatment cost discussions: decisions are made based on medical appropriateness not negotiated based on cost. 6. Follow up counts. 7. Technicians are used to their full potential: great knowledge, tremendous ability, and enthusiasm produce an effective patient advocate that functions like a physician’s assistant. 8. The receptions are recognized as the store front window of the practice.

There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019.

  • Canine and Feline Pododermatitis – Accepting the Challenge : Part 1
    1 CANINE AND FELINE PODODERMATITIS – ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE : PART 1 ALLERGIC PODODERMATITIS Both atopy and food sensitivity in the dog are commonly associated with pododermatitis. In atopy, the initiation and perpetuation of the allergic response may be through transcutaneous absorption of allergens. This transcutaneous absorption of allergens may result in the development of diffuse inflammation in contact areas. Lesions are otherwise caused by licking. Salivary staining is common. The dermatitis produced is often diffuse in the interdigital spaces. The dorsal and/or ventral spaces or both may be involved. A further area of predilection for allergy induced pododermatitis is the area just proximal to the carpal and tarsal pads. Nail fold inflammation (paronychia) may be present and may predominate. Allergic pododermatitis is commonly complicated by secondary bacterial and Malassezia overgrowth (interdigital spaces, nail folds) and superficial and deep bacterial infection which may contribute significantly to pruritus. Secondary infections should be delineated (impression smears, swabs, acetate tape preparations) and treated (see below for Malassezia and elsewhere in these Proceedings for bacterial treatments ). Chronic, maintenance germicidal therapy should be considered to help control recurrent infections. Diagnosis of food sensitivities will require the feeding of a restrictive diet for at least 8-12 weeks. Every effort should be made to resolve secondary infections and hyperplastic skin changes early in the course of the restrictive diet. Anti-pruritic medications are then discontinued in the later phases of the diet trial to assess the effects of the diet. Documentation of the food sensitivity is then established by challenge with the previous diet. Atopic pododermatitis is perhaps best treated by managing the underlying allergy (e.g.

  • Evaluation of Laser and LED Phototherapy for the Treatment of Canine Acral Lick Dermatitis and Staphylococcus Pseudintermedius in Vitro
    Evaluation of laser and LED phototherapy for the treatment of canine acral lick dermatitis and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in vitro THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amy H. Schnedeker, D.V.M. Graduate Program in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2017 Master’s Examination Committee: Dr. Lynette Cole, Advisor Dr. Sandra Diaz Dr. Gwendolen Lorch Dr. Joshua Daniels Dr. Paivi Rajala-Schultz i Copyright by Amy H. Schnedeker 2017 i Abstract Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is the most common cause of bacterial skin infections in dogs. Methicillin-resistant infections have become more common and are challenging to treat. Blue light phototherapy may be an option for treating these infections. The objective of this study was to measure the in vitro bactericidal activity of 465-nm blue light on methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MSSP) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP). We hypothesized that irradiation with blue light would kill MSSP and MRSP in a dose-dependent fashion in vitro as previously reported for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In six replicate experiments, each strain (MSSP: n=1), (MRSP ST-71 [KM1381]: n=1) and (MRSA [BAA-1680]: n=1) were cultivated on semisolid media, irradiated using a 465-nm blue light phototherapeutic device at the following cumulative doses: 56.25, 112.5, and 225 J/cm2 and incubated overnight at 35oC. Controls were not irradiated. Colony counts (CC) were manually performed. Descriptive statistics were performed and treatment effects assessed using the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
