AN ALLERGIC INFECTED DERMATITIS CASE IN A DOG
Abstract
In this case report, it was discussed the consequence of the treatment applied to an Irish Setter with pruritic skin lesions on the head and around the anus. This case was treated topically with antiseptic solution and antibiotic pomade and parenterally with corticosteroid, antihistaminic and antibiotic. After the treatment, the skin lesions healed fully with no relapse. It was concluded that this type skin lesion could heal readily and successfully if it was diagnosed early and treated adequately.
