Canine and Feline Eczema - Clinical Symptoms of Canine and Feline Eczema

The skin lesions of dermatosis show phenomena such as erythema, petechiae, blisters, erosion and scales, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as itching, pain and heat. Poor skin hygiene, factors such as damp living environment of animals, strong sunlight exposure, stimulation of external substances, and insect bites can all become external causes of eczema. Allergic reactions caused by various factors, nutritional imbalance, and certain diseases that reduce the immune ability and body resistance of animals can become internal causes of eczema.

The clinical manifestations of eczema are divided into acute and chronic types. The main manifestation of acute eczema is the appearance of rashes or papules on the skin. The lesion starts on the face and back, especially on the bridge of the nose, eyes and cheeks, and is easy to spread to the surrounding area to form small blisters. After the blisters rupture, the local area is eroded. Due to itching and the moistness of the affected area, the animal is restless and licks and bites the affected area, resulting in aggravated skin papule symptoms.
Chronic eczema has a long course, thickened skin, lichenification and dander. Although the moisture of the skin is relieved to some extent, the itching symptom still exists and may be aggravated. The most common eczema clinically is eczematous rhinitis in dogs. Lupus or pemphigus occurs on the nose and other parts of sick dogs. The affected area scabs, and sometimes serous fluid and ulcers are seen. When systemic and discoid lupus occurs, depigmentation and ulcers appear on the nasal mirror.
