Canine allergies are one of the most common cases you’ll see in general practice. It may seem necessary to refer those stubborn cases to a dermatologist, but before you do, be sure to do a thorough allergic workup. An allergic workup is key to identifying the underlying cause of pruritus and minimizing the severity and frequency of infections. In this edition of Vet2Vet, we sit down with Dr. Ashley Bourgeois to discuss diagnostic tests, such as cytologies, skin scrapings, and biopsies. We also touch on recognizing if your patient is not allergic and how to approach unique dermatologic presentations.
