    TLDR English springer spaniels are more prone to severe sebaceous adenitis than standard poodles.
    The study on sebaceous adenitis (SA) in 104 Swedish dogs found that the disease was more prevalent in breeds like Standard Poodles, Akitas, and Springer Spaniels, with the latter showing more severe symptoms such as alopecia, seborrhea, and pyoderma. The mean age at diagnosis was 4.8 years, and 61% of the cases were male dogs. Treatment mainly involved topical care and oral fatty acids, which improved symptoms, but 14 dogs were euthanized due to severe SA, particularly within 24 months post-diagnosis. The study emphasized the need for early diagnosis, long-term management, and further research on the disease's inheritance, especially in Springer Spaniels.
