This case report describes a 4-month-old domestic dog suffering from emaciation alongside Malasseziosis and Ehrlichiosis, showing significant clinical improvement after treatment, including dietary changes, medicated bathing, antiparasitic, antibiotic therapy, and supportive care.

This study found that specific variants of the KAP6-1 gene in cashmere-producing goats were associated with changes in fiber diameter and length, suggesting potential as genetic markers for fiber improvement.

This study found significant inconsistencies in coat color terminology for the Sicilian Mastiff, revealing greater phenotypic diversity through photography and genetic analyses than recognized in breed registry data.

This study, conducted on 17 dogs with hyperadrenocorticism in Germany, concluded that while common symptoms like polyuria and polydipsia were observed in all cases, clinical signs and blood parameters did not significantly correlate with diagnostic test results for the condition.

In this study, cyclosporin effectively controlled cases of granulomatous folliculitis, furunculosis, sebaceous adenitis in cats, and alopecia areata in a dog, positioning it as a promising alternative to glucocorticoids in veterinary dermatology.

This study found that hairless dog breeds have adapted to maintain normal body and core temperatures through structural changes like a thicker epidermis and the role of melanin in thermoregulation, with genetic mechanisms involving the FOXI3 gene governing hairlessness.

This chapter reviews various types of alopecia and associated skin diseases in dogs and cats but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

This study reports that ivermectin-based therapy, combined with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and supportive treatments, effectively led to clinical recovery within 10-21 days in six dogs with varying severity of demodicosis.

This study found that dogs with dermatitis exhibited specific histological skin changes, such as hyperkeratosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, and showed increased leukocyte counts compared to non-dermatitis dogs.

In this study, a case of a Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis demonstrated marked clinical improvement and complete cure with Posaconazole, highlighting the potential of antifungal susceptibility testing to guide effective treatment in persistent infections unresponsive to standard therapies.

This study found no association between W locus allele variations and phenotypic traits like eye color, head spotting, and fur length in Turkish Van cats, suggesting other genetic factors should be explored.

This study found that delmadinone acetate and finasteride caused a reversible suppression of prostate gland activity in male dogs, with delmadinone acetate also temporarily altering epididymal sperm maturation.

This report describes a case of dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in tropical and temperate climates, affecting a female dog with alopecia on its neck and ear tip.

This report describes a unique case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) in a dog, caused by a VDR gene mutation resulting in severe hypocalcemia and bone issues, which presented with symptoms similar to those observed in humans.

This article provides an overview of conditions that can cause hair loss in dogs and cats and offers guidance on diagnostic approaches, but it presents no new research findings.

This study identified and isolated highly proliferative canine keratinocytes in vitro, finding that follicular keratinocytes showed distinct proliferative capacity and marker expression indicative of putative epithelial stem cells.

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

This research examined krill oil's effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and found that it inhibited the growth of prostate cells in vitro and reduced prostate size and weight in a BPH rat model, suggesting potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for BPH.

This study demonstrates that glucocorticoid hepatopathy in Beagle dogs led to rapid and lasting clinical, morphologic, and biochemical changes, which may aid in the future diagnosis and prognosis of similar conditions.

This case report describes two German shepherd dogs with prostatitis that showed favorable responses to treatment with finasteride, phenazopyridine, and enrofloxacin.

This study identified the expression of 5αR1 and 5αR3 enzymes in canine skin, which may advance understanding and treatment of alopecia X.

This study assessed hair whorl characteristics in domestic dogs and found that simple whorls predominate, with tufted whorls more common in specific regions like elbows and chests, influenced by factors such as coat traits and source.

This case report describes an 11-year-old canine diagnosed with Pemphigus Foliaceus, illustrating the role of trichogram, skin scraping, cytology, and histopathology in achieving an accurate diagnosis.

This study observed that minoxidil induced myocardial necroses and hemorrhages in beagle dogs and miniature swine, with greater severity seen in dogs.

This study established a simple and accurate LC-MS method for quantifying vinflunine in Beagle dog plasma, supporting pharmacokinetic research in this context.

This case study describes a Doberman Pinscher with a unique alopecic variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that progressed to systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting a rare autoimmune alopecia form in dogs.

This study found that cyclosporine A treatment at 5 mg/kg/day may reduce inflammation and promote gland regeneration in dogs with sebaceous adenitis, though symptoms returned when treatment stopped.

In this study, eight dogs with severe itching and skin issues caused by Demodex canis mites showed partial improvement after one month and full recovery in two months following treatment with fluralaner, antibiotics, immune boosters, and omega supplements.

This study found that intracorneal vacuoles were common in various parakeratotic skin diseases in dogs, but large vacuoles were exclusively observed in congenital follicular parakeratosis.
