Final #4 of 6!

Dermatology Final FUN Facts! (Getting closer to the end!)

1. With otitis, only implement systemic treatment for ulcerations, otitis media, or proliferations.

2. Lupus erythematosus lesions result in depigmentation of the nose and a loss of the cobblestone appearance (no “nose-print”).

3. Bovine ascariasis (mange) usually affects the TAIL HEAD.

4. Impetigo papules are NOT oriented around the hair shaft and it is NOT contagious (in dogs).

5. Copper deficiency in cattle causes a harsh hair coat with FADED COLOR (think bleach-blonde Hereford’s).

6. Culicoides (a causative agent of equine insect hypersensitivity – the most common cause of pruritis in horses) are “weak fliers” and cannot fly into a box fan.
