Canine and Feline Pododermatitis
Pododermatitis is defined as inflammation of the skin of the paw(s). Affected tissues may include interdigital spaces, footpads, nail folds
(paronychia), and nails. Pododermatitis is often seen in general practice and one of the more challenging manifestations of skin disease,
both in terms of establishing a definitive diagnosis and providing effective care. This webinar will look at the different causes, discuss a
diagnostic approach and general treatment and discuss the more common causes such as pododemodicosis, allergic pododermatitis,
infectious pododermatitis, interdigital follicular cysts (also known as sterile pyogranulomatous pododermatitis), hepatocutaneous
syndrome and feline plasma cell pododermatitis in more detail.
