    TLDR A mixed breed dog with skin issues improved significantly after treatment and needs to avoid dampness and certain bath products to prevent it from coming back.
    An 8-year-old mixed breed dog with generalized alopecia and other skin issues was diagnosed with Malassezia spp. fungal dermatitis. Treatment with oral ketoconazole, chlorpheniramine maleate, fish oil, sebasol shampoo, and specific dry food led to significant hair growth and improvement by the 28th day. Owners are advised to avoid damp environments and inappropriate bathing products to prevent recurrence.
