264. Cats... little derm aliens
03/20/25 • 14 min
Cat dermatology is always a bit tricky. They present their allergies in so many different ways that are unique to this species. Oral lesions and asthma are not as commonly seen in allergic dogs, but often seen in allergic cats. Also, the struggle of administering medications to cats which can be more difficult compared to dogs. I always think of cats as little derm aliens... BUT, just because their management is not as straightforward, doesn't mean we shouldn't provide relief.
