This chapter reviews common dermatoses in small animals and offers bulleted lists as a preliminary tool for formulating differential diagnoses, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that microneedling induced nearly complete hair regrowth in two Pomeranians with alopecia X, suggesting it may be a promising alternative treatment for similar hair cycle arrest disorders.

Canine skin has two main layers: the epidermis and dermis, with a supportive subcutis layer.

This study observed eight dogs with severe itching, hair loss, and skin lesions that had not responded to previous treatments. After treating the dogs with fluralaner, antibiotics, immune boosters, and omega supplements, partial recovery was seen in one month, with full recovery in two months.

This study reports a case of generalized dermatitis in a mixed-breed German Spitz due to Sarcoptes scabiei and Malassezia sp. infection, treated with ivermectin and fluconazole, plus supportive therapies, resulting in marked lesion reduction though not full recovery.

In this study, photobiomodulation therapy successfully treated hair cycle arrest in a Pembroke Welsh corgi with no adverse effects, suggesting a new potential treatment option for this condition.

This study developed an in vitro model using NTERT keratinocytes expressing AEC-related TP63 mutations, which replicated skin defects observed in AEC patients and offers a valuable tool for understanding the disorder and developing new treatments.

This study found that canine dermal papilla cells and fibroblasts metabolize androgens differently than human hair follicle cells, indicating species-specific differences in androgen metabolism.

In this case report, researchers document a female dog in tropical conditions with dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in hot and humid climates, showing symptoms like alopecia on the neck and ear tips.

This study examined 14 dogs with alopecia areata and found that oral ciclosporin was the most common treatment, with some dogs experiencing hair regrowth, though relapses were common when the medication was tapered or withdrawn.

In this case report, a combination therapy including pyrantel pamoate, chlorpheniramine maleate, vitamin B-complex, and topical candlenut oil effectively treated dermatitis and Ancylostoma spp. infection in a dog, leading to improvement in skin condition and hair growth after 14 days.

This study identifies a polygenic basis for atypical recurrent flank alopecia in Cesky Fousek dogs through genome-wide association analysis and gene expression profiling, highlighting several metabolic pathways involved in the condition.

This study found that Merkel cells in dogs are most numerous in sensory receptive areas like oral mucosa and facial skin, indicating a potential role in tactile sensation.

This case study found that treating a dog with primary hypothyroidism using oral levothyroxine sodium led to significant clinical improvement within six weeks.

In this retrospective case series, cats with cutaneous lymphocytosis showed a primarily reactive condition with prolonged survival, while dogs exhibited more diverse presentations and clinical outcomes, indicating a complex disease nature.

In this study, researchers found that topical mousse treatments containing chlorhexidine and other active ingredients showed significant antibacterial effects on both skin and hair in short-haired dogs, but mainly on hair in long-haired dogs, suggesting hair evaluations might overestimate skin-level efficacy.

In this case report, an 8-year-old Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis showed significant clinical improvement after switching to posaconazole, chosen based on antifungal susceptibility testing, offering a promising treatment option for dogs unresponsive to standard antifungal therapies.

In this study, researchers collected and analyzed morphometric data from 207 Janwal Pashmi dogs in Maharashtra, finding distinct physical traits such as color and ear length, with adult males generally larger in several traits compared to females.

This study found that small amounts of subcutaneously injected Se75 were deposited and retained in the hair of dogs for up to 316 days.

In this case report, researchers describe a fungal skin infection, dermatophytosis, in an 11-month-old female dog, shedding light on the zoonotic nature of the disease, which affects both animals and humans, particularly in climates that are hot and humid.

This study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.

This study observed that alkaline phosphatase activity in dog hair follicles varied with hair cycle stages, displaying weak to negative reactions in the anagen stage, positive reactions in catagen, and strong positivity in telogen.

This study found that both low and high dietary selenium levels reduced hair growth in adult dogs, with optimal growth observed at mid-range selenium concentrations.

In this reported case, a male German Spitz diagnosed with alopecia X showed partial regrowth of alopecic areas after treatment with orchiectomy and melatonin, indicating this combination's potential effectiveness for the condition.

This case report highlights that cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphoma in dogs can present with various skin lesions, such as depigmentation, making diagnosis challenging for veterinarians.

This study found that in poodles, perifollicular changes in the hair follicle glassy membrane are not always linked to calcium deposition.

This study identified genetic variations that could serve as candidate markers for improving body conformation traits in Kazakh fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep through marker-assisted selection.

This review examines the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of dermatophytosis (ringworm) in dogs and cats, highlighting the role of Microsporum canis and the public health implications of zoophilic dermatophytes, affecting roughly 20-25% of the global population.

In this study, trilostane treatment led to complete hair re-growth in 85% of Pomeranians and all miniature poodles with alopecia X within 4 to 8 weeks.

This study reviews prior research using transgenic K6/ODC mice and demonstrates that elevated polyamines in epithelial cells contribute significantly to skin tumor development and progression by stimulating proliferation, altering cell signaling and chromatin remodeling, and affecting immune functionality, amongst other mechanisms.
