Dermatologic Disorders: Congenital and Developmental Skin Conditions in Foals

    June 2018 in “ CRC Press eBooks ”
    W. Bernard
    TLDR Foals can have various skin issues, some genetic, immune-related, or due to infections and allergies.
    Congenital and developmental skin conditions in foals could be self-limiting, treatable, or life-threatening, with congenital conditions often having a genetic basis. Developmental conditions are mainly immune-mediated or allergic. Foals can also suffer from infectious, parasitic, nutritional, and insect-related skin issues. Various cysts, such as epidermoid, dermoid, dentigerous, and conchal, can be congenital or developmental. Hyperelastosis, an inherited connective tissue disorder, affects Quarter horses and other breeds. Immune-mediated inflammatory lesions, including urticaria, atopy, pemphigus, vasculitis, alopecia, drug reactions, insect hypersensitivities, and folliculitis, are also common in foals.
