Feline Cutaneous Atopic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches
At the last World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology held in Boston in July 2024, our colleague Domenico SANTORO had the opportunity to give a very good lecture on Feline Atopic Skin Syndrome or FASS. This was an opportunity to review this allergic dermatitis, which is so common in the feline species, yet so poorly understood.
Update on Knowledge of Food Allergies in Dogs and Cats
At the last World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology, which took place in Boston last July, our colleague, veterinary dermatologist Hilary Jackson, provided a comprehensive update on new developments in dog and cat food allergies.
Diagnosis and Management of Spontaneous Feline Alopecia
At the last World Congress of Dermatology, our colleague, Vanessa Schmidt, who practices at the University of Liverpool, discussed spontaneous feline alopecia, which is rarer than self-induced alopecia and whose etiological diagnosis is sometimes complex.
Diagnostic approach to erosive and crusting facial dermatoses in cats
Erosive and crusting facial dermatoses in cats represent a major diagnostic challenge in veterinary practice. Their high prevalence and the multiplicity of possible etiologies require a methodical and rigorous approach. At the last World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology held in Boston, our colleague Petra Bizikova had the opportunity to review their causes and diagnostic approach.
Diagnostic approach to non-pruritic canine alopecia
At the last American Congress of Veterinary Dermatology held in Orlando, Florida, our colleague Paul Bloom had the opportunity to provide a comprehensive update on non-pruritic alopecias in dogs, presenting his complete diagnostic approach.

Prevalence and Distribution of Canine Atopic Dermatitis Lesions in Small and Medium-Sized Dogs in Korea
Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD) is a common skin condition in dogs, characterized by lesions observed mainly on the face, ear pinnae, abdomen, groin, armpits, flexural surfaces of the elbow, and paws.
Off-label use of oclacitinib in a case of canine pemphigus foliaceus.
Pemphigus foliaceus represents a rare but significant autoimmune bullous dermatosis in dogs. Systemic corticosteroids are usually the first-line treatment, but their variable efficacy and significant side effects justify the exploration of therapeutic alternatives, as was the case in this clinical case.
Ultrasound-guided intralymphatic immunotherapy in canine atopic dermatitis: a retrospective study of 109 cases.
Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) represents a major therapeutic challenge in veterinary dermatology, often requiring long-term management. Intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) has progressively emerged as a promising alternative to conventional treatments, offering encouraging results in both human and veterinary medicine.
Objective monitoring of canine pruritus using accelerometry.
The use of collar-worn accelerometers represents a major innovation for the objective monitoring of pruritic skin conditions in dogs.

Vasculopathies and Veterinary Dermatology
Over the past decade, a particular focus has been placed on vascular lesions observed in skin biopsies, and the terms “vasculitis” or “vascularitis” have become a subject of much controversy among pathologists…
Malassezia Dermatitis in Dogs and Cats
Malassezia is a yeast naturally present on the skin and mucous membranes of dogs and cats. In the event of an underlying disease, it can proliferate and cause skin problems (dermatitis, otitis, paronychia). Diagnosis is simple via cytology, but treatment requires a comprehensive approach, including identification and treatment of the underlying cause.
