Control of Recurrent Pyoderma with PYOspot® in an Atopic Dog
Journal Title: International Journal of Veterinary Health Science & Research (IJVHSR) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Recurrent pyoderma is not an uncommon complication of canine atopic dermatitis and the use of frequent courses of antibiotic for its control is of concern, related to the possible developing of resistances. This report describes a case where the use of a spot-on product PYOspot® avoids the recurrence of pyoderma in a dog with severe canine atopic dermatitis. A female French bulldog severely affected by canine atopic dermatitis was suffering from recurrent episodes of pyoderma, 5 in the last year. Pyoderma was manifested as bacterial folliculitis with alopecia and papule-crusted lesions and as intertrigo in facial folds and paws. The infection was controlled with courses of antibiotic lasting at least for 1 month, but it recurred once the treatment was stopped. The dog was in treatment with cyclosporine to control clinical signs of atopic dermatitis. The administration of a weekly treatment with a topical spot-on formulation containing a natural complex with antimicrobial properties, PYOspot®, prevents pyoderma recurrence in this dog.
