Adenohypophysitis Associated With Sebaceous Gland Atrophy in a Dog

    July 1991 in “ Veterinary Pathology ”
    Milton Μ. McAllister
    TLDR A dog had a rare skin condition linked to gland and pituitary issues.
    This document described a case of a 9-year-old Samoyed dog with chronic sebaceous adenitis, characterized by the absence of sebaceous glands and associated with adenohypophysitis. The dog exhibited symptoms such as generalized dermatitis, blepharitis, partial alopecia, and scaly skin, which were unresponsive to conventional medical therapy. Histological examination revealed the absence of sebaceous glands, lymphoplasmacytic infiltration around hair follicles, and changes in the adenohypophysis with decreased acidophilic and basophilic cells. The findings suggested a non-granulomatous variant of sebaceous adenitis, differing from previously described cases.

      Hair loss treatments, such as Dutasteride, Minoxidil, and Finasteride. Advice is given to give the medications time to work and to consider a Hair Transplant in order to fill any gaps caused by continuing hair loss.

      community Hot weather causing hair shedding?

      in Minoxidil  3 upvotes 3 months ago
      Hot weather can increase hair shedding, possibly due to dehydration and active sebaceous glands. Using shampoos with salicylic acid or zinc pyrithione may help; daily anti-inflammatory use is not recommended.
