This webinar series focuses on dermatological conditions in dogs, emphasising their underlying systemic or autoimmune causes. Key topics include endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases, and rare conditions that affect the skin and haircoat. The series covers clinical signs, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options, including both standard and off-license therapies. Additionally, it highlights the importance of recognising conditions like superficial necrolytic dermatitis and Leishmaniosis, especially in dogs with travel histories, providing a comprehensive overview of diagnostic and management strategies for these complex cases.
