    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.
