If you knew what age your dog was likely to be diagnosed with cancer would you start doing something about it earlier? New research tells us just that and others say that we need to be thinking about it before diagnosis to get the best outcomes. This is my Xmas calling for 2023 and my mission for the year ahead.
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is the name for the clinical condition that is the allergic reaction, usually to environmental allergens but can also be food-related, that manifests as itchy and inflamed skin that causes a dog to rub, lick, bite and scratch the area – often making it worse and leading to secondary infection. It’s angry and itchy and merciless and you’ll want to do just about anything to soothe it and, even better, solve it.
Approx 10% of the world’s dog population presents to the vet with this condition, with some reports of slightly higher incidence in females. Up to 23% may have a concurrent food hypersensitivity.
