Atopic Dermatitis
Genetic tendency to develop allergic skin disease from environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, and mold.
Key Facts
- Genetic basis — predisposed breeds include Golden Retriever, Labrador, West Highland White Terrier
- Allergens enter through defective skin barrier, not necessarily inhaled
- Dogs: onset typically 1-3 years; foot licking, ear inflammation classic signs
- Cats: face/neck itching, hair loss, may hide scratching behavior
- Meeting 5 diagnostic criteria yields 85% accuracy in dogs
- Allergy testing is for immunotherapy formulation, NOT diagnosis
- Hyposensitization (allergy shots) is only treatment that changes immune system
