Talk Overview
Atopic dermatitis is a lifelong condition that needs ongoing management to prevent flares. Repeated cycles of inflammation and infection otherwise result in chronic changes that are harder to control. It is a complex condition that involves a poor skin barrier, abnormal skin inflammation, allergies (in most but not all dogs) to environmental, food and/or Malassezia allergens, and secondary skin and
ear “infections” (in reality a dysbiosis of the local microbiomes). Most dogs need a multimodal approach to address their triggers. Treatment in in two phases – induction to remission and then long-term maintenance to prevent relapses. This webinar will show you how to select and use different treatments effectively for induction and maintenance in each case.
Learning outcomes
• Understanding the aetiopathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.
• Understanding the properties, advantages and disadvantages of the different treatments for
atopic dermatitis.
• Planning cost-effective approaches to therapy for induction and maintenance
• Avoiding the march to chronic skin changes.
