Nonpharmacologic Approaches to Canine Atopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Canine atopic dermatitis (AD) is challenging to treat. Next to flea-bite hypersensitivity, AD ranks as one of the top two hypersensitive skin conditions of dogs throughout the world. Estimates suggest that up to fifteen percent of the canine population may suffer from AD, though true prevalence and incidence is unknown. 1 AD is a “genetically programmed disease of dogs in which the patient becomes sensitized to environmental antigens that in nonatopic animals create no disease.” The clinical signs are variable, and there are no pathognomonic features. Rather, one diagnoses it by identifying strongly associated atopy criteria and eliminating other differential diagnoses. Allergy testing takes place thereafter in order to either implement allergen avoidance strategies, or to select specific allergens for hyposensitization formulations.
