Case 7

    May 2019 in “ Small Animal Dermatology ”

    TLDR The dog had a good prognosis with proper treatment and cleaning.
    This chapter detailed a case study of a 10-year-old female neutered Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross with a 12-month history of progressive alopecia. The dog was treated with miconazole/chlorhexidine shampoo while awaiting dermatophyte culture results, which identified Microsporum canis after 8 days. The prognosis was positive, contingent on the dog's competent cell-mediated immunity and effective environmental cleaning to reduce re-infection risk. The chapter aimed to enhance clinical dermatology skills and knowledge through practical information, questions, and detailed answers on differential diagnoses, diagnostic tools, and treatment options.

      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
